In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
This paper presents a new algorithm called List-based Load Balancing (LLB) for compile-time task scheduling on distributed-memory machines. LLB is intended as a cluster-mapping an...

This paper presents our work on the static task scheduling model using the mean-field annealing (MFA) technique. Mean-field annealing is a technique of thermostatic annealing that...
Virtual Machine (VM) fork is a new cloud computing abstraction that instantaneously clones a VM into multiple replicas running on different hosts. All replicas share the same init...
Charging of services in a distributed system will become more and more important for systems which are utilized commercially. Such an important distributed system exists in form o...
