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...
This paper presents a method to optimize the timeout value of computing jobs. It relies on a model of the job execution time that considers the job management system latency throu...
Auctions are proposed as a distributed negotiation mean, particularly useful in multiagent systems where both cooperative and self-interested agents compete for resources and serv...
This paper investigates how maintainability can be established in system integration (SI) projects where maintainers have no direct access to the source code of the third-party so...
Replicated services accessed via quorums enable each access to be performed at only a subset (quorum) of the servers and achieve consistency across accesses by requiring any two qu...
