In this paper, we address the problem of resource discovery in a grid based multimedia environment, where the resources providers, i.e. servers, are intermittently available. Give...
—The increasing attention on global scheduling algorithms for identical multiprocessor platforms produced different, independently developed, schedulability tests. However, the e...
This paper presents a new method,based on Markov chain analysis, to evaluate the performance of schedules of behavioral specifications. The proposed performance measure is the expe...
Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
Abstract. Resource provisioning is one of the main challenges in resource sharing environments such as multi-cluster Grids. In these environments each cluster serves requests from ...
