Since computationally intensive applications may often require more resources than a single computing machine can provide in one administrative domain, bolstering resource co-allo...
Distributed applications require distributed techniques for efficient resource allocation. These techniques need to take into account the heterogeneity and potential unreliability...
— One of the major challenges in managing resources of computational Grids with diverse shared resources is how to meet users' QoS requirements and rationally distribute res...
Abstract. The trend towards cloud and utility computing infrastructures raises challenges not only for application development, but also for management: diverse resources, changing...
Central to the vision of the smart grid is the deployment of smart meters that will allow autonomous software agents, representing the consumers, to optimise their use of devices ...
