In grid computing, agent-based load balancing is one of the most important problems. In this paper, we present a macroscopic model to describe the dynamics of agent-based load bal...
Following previous work, we consider the hierarchical load balancing model on two machines of possibly different speeds. We first focus on maximizing the minimum machine load and ...
Imagine a set of self-interested clients, each of whom must choose a server from a permissible set. A server’s latency is inversely proportional to its speed, but it grows linear...
Connected world-widely distributed computers and data systems establish a global source of processing power and data, called a grid. Key properties of a grid are the fact that com...
The Information Power Grid (IPG) concept developed by NASA is aimed to provide a metacomputing platform for large-scale distributed computations, by hiding the intricacies of a hig...
