A new quality metric, called area, is introduced for schedules that execute dags, i.e., computations having intertask dependencies. Motivated by the temporal unpredictability enco...
Effective task scheduling and deployment is hard to achieve in a Grid environment, where computing resources are heterogamous and shared between local and Grid users without a cen...
— The efforts to construct a national scale Grid computing environment have brought unprecedented computing capacity and complicacy. Exploiting this complex infrastructure requir...
Abstract. We propose FIT, a flexible, light-weight and real-time scheduling system for wireless sensor platforms. There are three salient features of FIT. First, its two-tier hiera...
