While fault-tolerance is desirable for grid applications because of the distributed and dynamic nature of grid resources, it has seldom been considered in static scheduling. We pr...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
Grid technologies have enabled the aggregation of geographically distributed resources, in the context of a particular application. The network remains an important requirement for...
Grid jobs often consist of a large number of tasks. If the performance of a statically scheduled grid job is unsatisfactory, one must decide which code of which task should be imp...
—Data-intensive Grid applications require huge data transferring between multiple geographically separated computing nodes where computing tasks are executed. For a future WDM ne...
