During the past ve years scientists discovered that modern UNIX workstations connected with ethernet and ber networks could provide enough computational performance to compete wit...
—Divisible load model allows scheduling algorithms that give nearly optimal makespan with practical computational complexity. Beaumont et al. have shown that their algorithm prod...
Existing clock synchronization algorithms assume a bounded clock reading error. This, in turn, results in an inflexible design that typically requires node crashes whenever the g...
Efficient resource discovery based on dynamic attributes such as CPU utilization and available bandwidth is a crucial problem in the deployment of computing grids. Existing solut...
— Reputation systems have been a hot topic in the peer-to-peer community for several years. In a services-oriented distributed computing environment like the Grid, reputation sys...
