: Since the advent of Gnutella, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols have matured towards a fundamental design element for large-scale, self-organising distributed systems. Many research e...
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multip...
Scheduling of multiple parallel machinesin the face of sequence dependent setups and downstream considerations is a hard problem. No single efficient algorithm is guaranteedto pro...
We consider preemptive offline and online scheduling on identical machines and uniformly related machines in the hierarchical model, with the goal of minimizing the makespan. In t...
