Replication is a technique used in Data Grid environments that helps to reduce access latency and network bandwidth utilization. Replication also increases data availability thereb...
Resource management and scheduling plays a crucial role in achieving high utilization of resources in grid computing environments. Due to heterogeneity of resources, scheduling an...
Slowdown is used to measure the fairness degree of a scheduling algorithm in existing work. However, the fairness degree should be considered within a scheduling algorithm; rather...
Data replications is a typical strategy for increasing access performance and data availability in Data Grid systems. Current work on data replication in Grid systems focuses on i...
In this paper, we investigate an efficient off-line scheduling algorithm in which real-time tasks with precedence constraints are executed in a heterogeneous environment. It provi...
