We study the problem of efficiently allocating incoming independent tasks onto the resources of a Grid system. Typically, it is assumed that the estimated time to compute each task...
This paper examines the issue of dynamically scheduling applications on a wide-area network computing system. We construct a simulation model for wide-area task allocation problem...
Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are currently one of the major research topics in Grid Computing. Among those system components that support SLA-aware Grid jobs, the SLA mapping me...
Multi-agent resource allocation is a growing area of research at the frontier between Economics and Computer Science. Despite the extensive theoretical work and raising number of ...
: As the Grid evolves from a high performance cluster middleware to a multipurpose utility computing framework, a good understanding of Grid applications, their statistics and util...
