At least three factors in the existing migrating systems make them less suitable in Grid systems especially when the goal is to improve the response times for individual applicati...
Knowing the program timing characteristics is fundamental to the successful design and execution of real-time systems. A critical timing measure is the worst-case execution time (...
A contract algorithm is an algorithm which is given, as part of its input, a specified amount of allowable computation time. In contrast, interruptible algorithms may be interrupt...
The availability of large quantities of processors is a crucial enabler of many-task computing. Voluntary computing systems have proven that it is possible to build computing plat...

In collaboration architectures, a computer must perform both processing and transmission tasks. Intuitively, it seems that these independent tasks should be executed in concurrent ...
