Parallel computing on volatile distributed resources requires schedulers that consider job and resource characteristics. We study unconventional computing environments containing ...

Markets of computing resources typically consist of a cluster (or a multi-cluster) and jobs that arrive over time and request computing resources in exchange for payment. In this p...

In this paper a novel job allocation scheme in distributed systems (TAG) is modelled using the Markovian process algebra PEPA. This scheme requires no prior knowledge of job size ...
Time-sharing operating systems may delay application processing of incoming messages because other processes are scheduled when the messages arrive. In this paper, we present a sim...
