Resource Contention Metrics for Oversubscribed Scheduling Problems
We investigate a task insertion heuristic for oversubscribed scheduling problems, max-availability, that uses a simple estimate of resource contention to assign tasks to intervals...

Neighbor Table Construction and Update in a Dynamic Peer-to-Peer Network
In a system proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman and Richa (PRR), the expected cost of accessing a replicated object was proved to be asymptotically optimal for a static set of nodes an...

Static Worksharing Strategies for Heterogeneous Computers with Unrecoverable Failures
One has a large workload that is “divisible” (its constituent work’s granularity can be adjusted arbitrarily) and one has access to p remote computers that can assist in comp...
