While there have been several proposals of high performance global computing systems, scheduling schemes for the systems have not been well investigated. The reason is difficultie...
The emerging Grid is extending the scope of resources to mobile devices and sensors that are connected through unreliable networks. Nowadays the number of mobile device users is in...
A VOD server handles various types of media such as continuous media (CM) and non-continuous media (NM). Conventional VOD server buffer scheduling algorithms like Round Robin (RR)...
We present in this article a new approximation algorithm for scheduling a set of n independent rigid (meaning requiring a fixed number of processors) jobs on hierarchical parallel ...
