Grid computing has emerged as a new paradigm of distributed computing technology on large-scale resource sharing and coordinated problem solving. Based on a proposed Web service-b...
Heuristic algorithms have enjoyed increasing interests and success in the context of Utility Accrual (UA) scheduling. However, few analytical results, such as bounds on task-level...

Real-time resource scheduling is an important factor for improving the performance of cluster computing. In many distributed and parallel processing systems, particularly real-tim...
In this paper we introduce a new algorithm for computing near optimal schedules for task graph problems. In contrast to conventional approaches for solving those scheduling proble...
Commitment-modeled protocols enable flexible and robust interactions among agents. However, existing work has focused on features and capabilities of protocols without considerin...
