In computational grids, heterogeneous resources with different ownerships are dynamically available and distributed geographically. It is not realistic to build the resource alloc...
In this paper we propose a computational grid platform called JaWS++ that seeks to harvest the power of idle pools of workstations connected through the Internet and integrate them...
In desktop grids the use of off-the-shelf shared components makes the use of dedicated resources economically nonviable and increases the complexity of design of efficient storag...
