During the past ve years scientists discovered that modern UNIX workstations connected with ethernet and ber networks could provide enough computational performance to compete wit...
Heterogeneous computing environments have become attractive platforms to schedule computationally intensive jobs. We consider the problem of mapping independent tasks onto machines...

In this article a new algorithm for grid resource allocation based upon the theory of Algorithmic Mechanism Design (AMD) is presented. This algorithm is targeted at minimizing cost...
Resource management in the typical Grid environment based on multi-MPP systems or clusters today still is one of the challenging problems. We will present MeSch, a solution for the...
Abstract. We present a first constant performance guarantee for preemptive stochastic scheduling to minimize the sum of weighted completion times. For scheduling jobs with release ...
