In a Grid Computing environment, there are various important issues, including information security, resource management, routing, fault tolerance, and so on. Among these issues, ...
To make the most effective application placement decisions on volatile large-scale heterogeneous Grids, schedulers must consider factors such as resource speed, load, and reliabil...
We study how best to schedule scans of large data files, in the presence of many simultaneous requests to a common set of files. The objective is to maximize the overall rate of p...
We define CWS, a non-preemptive scheduling policy for workloads with correlated job sizes. CWS tackles the scheduling problem by inferring the expected sizes of upcoming jobs bas...
In a scheduling game, each player owns a job and chooses a machine to execute it. While the social cost is the maximal load over all machines (makespan), the cost (disutility) of ...
