— Advance reservation is a mechanism to guarantee the availability of resources when they are needed. In the context of LambdaGrid, this mechanism is used to provide data-intensi...
In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
Charging of services in a distributed system will become more and more important for systems which are utilized commercially. Such an important distributed system exists in form o...

Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) is a discrete event simulation technique used to study complex systems with entities having social and autonomous behavior. MABS applications a...
For a grid middleware to perform resource allocation, prediction models are needed, which can determine how long an application will take for completion on a particular platform o...
