We introduce the Multiagent Agreement Problem (MAP) to represent a class of multiagent scheduling problems. MAP is based on the Distributed Constraint Reasoning (DCR) paradigm and...
We consider the problem of scheduling tasks with unpredictable service times on distinct processing nodes so as to meet a real-time deadline, given that all communication among no...
As users increasingly require better quality of service from Grids, resource management and scheduling mechanisms have to evolve in order to satisfy competing demands on limited r...
This paper is part of a project to match real-world descriptions of instances of objects to models of objects. We use a rich ontology to describe s and models at multiple levels of...
Several challenges about computational grid exist in integrating, coordinating and managing of resources and scheduling of applications, due to distributed resources at various le...
