This paper takes the first steps towards designing incentive compatible mechanisms for hierarchical decision making problems involving selfish agents. We call these Stackelberg p...
We present a transparent, system-level checkpointing solution for master-worker parallelism that automatically adapts, upon restart, to the number of processor nodes available. Th...
Computational grids offer users a simple access to tremendous computer resources for solving large scale computing problems. Traditional performance analysis of scheduling algorit...
Software firms are increasingly distributing their software development effort across multiple locations. In this paper we present the results of a two year field study that inves...
Several challenges about computational grid exist in integrating, coordinating and managing of resources and scheduling of applications, due to distributed resources at various le...
