Replication is a technique used in Data Grid environments that helps to reduce access latency and network bandwidth utilization. Replication also increases data availability thereb...
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...
Abstract— Effective scheduling is critical for the performance of an application launched onto the Grid environment [11], [12]. Finding effective scheduling algorithms for this...
In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
