A major challenge in Metacomputing Systems (Computational Grids) is to effectively use their shared resources, such as compute cycles, memory, communication network, and data repo...

In this paper, we derive a statistical delay guarantee of the generalized Virtual Clock scheduling algorithm. We define the concept of an equivalent fluid and packet source and pr...
In multiple criteria Markov Decision Processes (MDP) where multiple costs are incurred at every decision point, current methods solve them by minimising the expected primary cost ...
Size-based scheduling policies such as SRPT have been studied since 1960s and have been applied in various arenas including packet networks and web server scheduling. SRPT has bee...
Leasing computational resources for on-demand computing is now a viable option for providers of network services. Temporary spikes or lulls in demand for a service can be accommod...
