Grid jobs often consist of a large number of tasks. If the performance of a statically scheduled grid job is unsatisfactory, one must decide which code of which task should be imp...
The general approach to fault tolerance in uniprocessor systems is to maintain enough time redundancy in the schedule so that any task instance can be re-executed in presence of f...
Evolution of grid has drawn attention from various resource intensive applications addressing domains of bio-informatics, astrology and multimedia, to name a few. Image analysis a...
This paper presents a simple protocol that provides application processes with an approximate real-time notion. This time notion is very versatile. At one extreme, it behaves at l...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
