Interest in Grid computing has grown significantly over the past five years. Management of distributed cluster resources is a key issue in Grid computing. Central to management ...
MCT is a widely used heuristic for scheduling tasks onto grid platforms. However, when dealing with many tasks, MCT tends to dramatically delay already mapped task completion time...
We propose a general model for resources allocation of virtual machines in multi-tier distributed environments. Our model describes each virtual machine and each physical host by ...
In this paper we discuss the role of a broker in a market-oriented resource allocation model for largescale heterogeneous systems. The simplified model is based upon a three part...
In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial auction model for resource management in grids. We propose a combinatorial auction-based resource allocation protocol in which a user...
