The goal of this research is to develop performance profiles of parallel and distributed applications in order to predict their execution time under different network conditions....
We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
One has a large workload that is “divisible” (its constituent work’s granularity can be adjusted arbitrarily) and one has access to p remote computers that can assist in comp...

We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
