Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
Legacy program execution system, which is necessary for Grid to enable users to reuse all legacy programs without reengineering source codes, is still an open problem. We propose ...
Globus has become a standard in the construction of Grid computing environments. However, it still needs more work and research to satisfy requirements from various grid applicatio...
The Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) was announced in January 2004 as a new way for manipulating "stateful resources" to perform grid computing tasks using Web Serv...
Abstract. In this paper, we analyze the problem of grid resource brokering in the presence of economic information about the price of resources. We examine in detail the main tasks...
