—Grid computing has emerged as a way to share geographically and organizationally distributed resources that may belong to different institutions or administrative domains. In th...
Data streaming applications, usually composed with sequential/parallel tasks in a data pipeline form, bring new challenges to task scheduling and resource allocation in grid envir...
Computational grids are increasingly being deployed in campus environments to provide unified access to distributed and heterogeneous resources such as clusters, storage arrays, ...
A heuristic algorithm that maps data-processing tasks onto heterogeneous resources (i.e., processors and links of various capacities) is presented. The algorithm tries to achieve ...
In Grid systems, nontrivial qualities of service have to be provided to users by the resource providers. However, resource management in a decentralized infrastructure is a complex...
