: Parallel database systems aim at providing high throughput for OLTP transactions as well as short response times for complex and data-intensive queries. Shared nothing systems re...
Abstract. Coordination is an essential technique in cooperative, distributed multiagent systems. However, sophisticated coordination strategies are not always cost-effective in all...
In a computational grid environment, a common practice is try to allocate an entire parallel job onto a single participating site. Sometimes a parallel job, upon its submission, ca...
Scheduling large amounts of tasks in distributed computing platforms composed of millions of nodes is a challenging goal, even more in a fully decentralized way and with low overhe...
Abstract. The paper examines the behaviour of a saturated multiprocessor system to which fully synchronous parallel jobs are submitted. In order to simplify the analysis, we assume...
