This paper describes an architecture that provides support for quality of service (QoS) specification and enforcement in heterogeneous distributed computing systems. The Quartz Qo...
Policy evaluation is a critical step in the approximate solution of large Markov decision processes (MDPs), typically requiring O(|S|3 ) to directly solve the Bellman system of |S...
The Rocks toolkit [9], [7], [10] uses a graph-based framework to describe the configuration of all node types (termed appliances) that make up a complete cluster. With hundreds of...

Scalability is a crucial factor in performance evaluation and analysis of parallel and distributed systems. Much effort has been devoted to scalability research and several metric...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
