Grid computing systems that have been the focus of much research activities in recent years provide a virtual framework for controlled sharing of resources across institutional bo...
Resource discovery and monitoring in a distributed Grid environment gives rise to several issues, one of which is the provision of reliable performance and hence, the quality-ofse...

Running workloads in a grid environment is often a challenging problem due the scale of the environment, and to the resource partitioning based on various sharing strategies. A res...
In this work we examine a task scheduling and data migration problem for Grid Networks, which we refer to as the Data Consolidation (DC) problem. DC arises when a task needs for i...

We consider the problem of preemptive scheduling on uniformly related machines. We present a semi-online algorithm which, if the optimal makespan is given in advance, produces an ...
