Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...
—We introduce Zen, a new resource allocation framework that assigns application components to node clusters to achieve high availability for partial-fault tolerant (PFT) applicat...
The distributed task allocation problem occurs in domains like web services, the grid, and other distributed systems. In this problem, the system consists of servers and mediators...
Heterogeneous computing systems composed of interconnected machines with varied computational capabilities often operate in environments where there may be sudden machine failures...
