In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
Divisible workload applications arise in many fields of science and engineering. They can be parallelized in master-worker fashion and relevant scheduling strategies have been pr...
Efficient exploitation of the aggregate resources available to a researcher is a challenging and real problem. The challenge becomes all the greater when researchers who collaborat...
Security underpins Grids and e-Research. Without a robust, reliable and simple Grid security infrastructure combined with commonly accepted security practices, large portions of th...
