Since participants in a computational Grid may be independent bodies, some mechanisms are necessary for resolving their differences. The contribution of this work is designing a b...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
GridX1 is a computational grid deployment of off-theshelf components using shared resources at several Canadian research institutions. This work evaluates the applicability of kna...
