Grid computing systems pool together the resources of many workstations to create a virtual computing reservoir. Users can "draw" resources using a pay-as-you-go model, c...
Abstract. This paper formulates the job allocation problem in distributed systems with bandwidth-constrained nodes. The bandwidth limitations of the nodes play an important role in...
Abstract One of the goals envisioned by Grid computing is to make the execution of both computational and data-intensive problems possible. A key problem is finding the optimal set...

In this article a new algorithm for grid resource allocation based upon the theory of Algorithmic Mechanism Design (AMD) is presented. This algorithm is targeted at minimizing cost...
In this paper we propose two price-based job allocation schemes for computational grids. A grid system tries to solve problems submitted by various grid users by allocating the jo...
