Most parallel computing resources are controlled by batch schedulers that place requests for computation in a queue until access to compute nodes is granted. Queue waiting times a...
Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
Hidden information is a critical issue for the successful delivery of SLAs in grid systems. It arises when the agents (hardware and software resources) employed to serve a task be...
In this paper, we develop a novel algorithm that allows service consumer agents to automatically select and provision service provider agents for their workflows in highly dynamic...

Since participants in a computational Grid may be independent bodies, some mechanisms are necessary for resolving their differences. The contribution of this work is designing a b...
