In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of two mechanisms for fault-tolerance and recovery for complex scientific workflows on computational grids. We present our ...
Executing long-running parallel applications in Opportunistic Grid environments composed of heterogeneous, shared user workstations, is a daunting task. Machines may fail, become ...
This paper addresses the problem of porting distributed parallel applications to the Grid. One of the challenges we address is the change from static homogeneous cluster environmen...
