One of the first motivations of using grids comes from applications managing large data sets in field such as high energy physics or life sciences. To improve the global throughput...
It is often difficult to perform efficiently a collection of jobs with complex job dependencies due to temporal unpredictability of the grid. One way to mitigate the unpredictabili...

Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an...
In current networks, packet losses can occur if routers do not provide sufficiently large buffers. This paper studies how many buffers should be provided in a router to eliminat...
We consider the problem of on-line scheduling with non-crossing constraints. The objective is to minimize the latest completion time. We provide optimal competitive ratio heuristi...
