— We target the problem of predicting resource usage in situations where the modeling data is scarce, non-stationary, or expensive to obtain. This scenario occurs frequently in c...
— In autonomic provisioning, a resource manager allocates resources to an application, on-demand, e.g., during load spikes. Modelling-based approaches have proved very successful...
Rapid growth of the demand for computational power by scientific, business and web-applications has led to the creation of large-scale data centers consuming enormous amounts of el...
This paper addresses a problem in supply chain management that how scarce resources can be efficiently allocated among competing interests. We present a formal model of allocation...
We present Tigris, a high-performance computation and I/O substrate for clusters of workstations that is implemented entirely in Java. Tigris automatically balances resource load a...
