Heterogeneous distributed environments or grid environments provide large computing resources for the execution of large scientific applications. The effective use of those plat...
This paper presents a new market-based pricing scheme which aims to improve the link load balance in Grid networks. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a bett...
ide, applications are programmed in an abstract manner describing essentially the chemical coordination between (not necessarily chemical) software components. On the other side, c...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
Peer-to-peer systems offer attractive system management properties, including the ability of components that join the network to self-organize; scalability up to tens of thousands...
