In this paper we consider, compare and analyze three game theoretical Grid resource allocation mechanisms. Namely, 1) the non-cooperative sealed-bid method where tasks are auction...
Many scientific applications need to stage large volumes of files from one set of machines to another set of machines in a wide-area network. Efficient execution of such data t...
We propose a biologically inspired and fully-decentralized approach to the organization of computation that is based on the autonomous scheduling of strongly mobile agents on a pe...

Running workloads in a grid environment is often a challenging problem due the scale of the environment, and to the resource partitioning based on various sharing strategies. A res...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
