Grid Workflows are emerging as practical programming models for solving large e-scientific problems on the Grid. However, it is typically assumed that the workflow components eith...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
Efficient job scheduling in grids is challenging due to the large number of distributed autonomous resources. In this paper we study various resource allocation policies in a 2-le...
Emerging Grid applications desire not only high bandwidth but also the ability to control the topology and traffic engineering of the underlying networks, through web service inte...
