To make the most effective application placement decisions on volatile large-scale heterogeneous Grids, schedulers must consider factors such as resource speed, load, and reliabil...
Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) is a discrete event simulation technique used to study complex systems with entities having social and autonomous behavior. MABS applications a...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
Accurate failure prediction in Grids is critical for reasoning about QoS guarantees such as job completion time and availability. Statistical methods can be used but they suffer f...
