In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
Grid computing systems that have been the focus of much research activities in recent years provide a virtual framework for controlled sharing of resources across institutional bo...
A model of honey bee social foraging is introduced to create an algorithm that solves a class of optimal resource allocation problems. We prove that if several such algorithms (&q...
—Large scale production grids are an important case for autonomic computing. They follow a mutualization paradigm: decision-making (human or automatic) is distributed and largely...
A crucial goal for future Grid systems is to strive towards user-centric service provisioning. A way to achieve this is through the use of economics-based resource management. Cur...
