On many computers, a request to run a job is not serviced immediately but instead is placed in a queue and serviced only when resources are released by preceding jobs. In this pape...
Abstract. In this paper, we analyze the problem of grid resource brokering in the presence of economic information about the price of resources. We examine in detail the main tasks...
This paper discusses how to find the global minimum of functions that are summations of small polynomials ("small" means involving a small number of variables). Some spa...
