Large scale systems such as the Grid need scalable and efficient resource allocation mechanisms to fulfil the requirements of its participants and applications while the whole s...
Ad-hoc Grids are highly heterogeneous and dynamic networks, one of the main challenges of resource allocation in such environments is to find mechanisms which do not rely on the ...
In this paper we propose a framework dedicated to the development and the execution of parallel applications over large scale global computing platforms. A workflow programming env...
Abstract— Markets and auctions have been proposed as mechanisms for efficiently and fairly allocating resources in a number of different computational settings. Economic approac...
In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
