Abstract. Grid information systems play a central role in today’s production Grid infrastructures, enabling the discovery of a range of information about the Grid services that e...
In ad-hoc Grids where the availability of resources and tasks changes over the time, distributing the tasks among the scarce resources in a balanced way is a challenging task. In ...
In traditional job scheduling systems for the Grid, a single or a few machines handle information of all computing resources and scheduling tasks. This centralized approach is not...
Users of distributed systems such as the TeraGrid and Open Science Grid can execute their applications on many different systems. We wish to help such users, or the grid scheduler...
We consider soft real-time applications organised as pipelines of tasks using resources of different type (communication, computation, storage). The applications are assumed to be...
