The distributed nature of the grid results in the problem of scheduling parallel jobs produced by several independent organizations that have partial control over the system. We co...
Very large size Peer-to-Peer systems are often required to implement efficient and scalable services, but usually they can be built only by assembling resources contributed by ma...
This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
We consider the execution of a complex application on a heterogeneous "grid" computing platform. The complex application consists of a suite of identical, independent pr...
This paper addresses the potential benefit of sharing jobs between independent sites in a grid computing environment. Also the aspect of parallel multi-site job execution on diff...
