When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
Abstract— We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to alloca...

Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
According to the special features of the dynamic heterogeneous grid environment, a loose-coupled and scalable resource model is described by a hybrid multi-level tree reflecting a...
