—Divisible loads are those workloads that can be partitioned by a scheduler into any arbitrary chunks. The problem of scheduling divisible loads has been defined for a long time,...
With the emergence of grid computing environment, performance measurement, analysis and prediction of non-dedicated distributed systems have become increasingly important. In this...
—Due to the dynamic nature of grid environments, schedule algorithms always need assistance of a long-time-ahead load prediction to make decisions on how to use grid resources ef...
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...
