The resource allocation problem is a fundamental problem in Grid and Cloud computing environments. This paper focuses on constructing nondominated (ND) local coteries to solve the...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
Resource sharing within grid collaborations usually implies specific sharing mechanisms at participating sites. Challenging policy issues can arise in such scenarios that integrate...
Bioinformatics algorithms such as sequence alignment methods based on profile-HMM (Hidden Markov Model) are popular but CPU-intensive. If large amounts of data are processed, a s...
