Effective task scheduling and deployment is hard to achieve in a Grid environment, where computing resources are heterogamous and shared between local and Grid users without a cen...
Abstract. The continuous media applications have an implied temporal dimension, i.e. they are presented at a particular rate for a particular length of time and if the required rat...
One of the most important collective communication patterns used in scientific applications is the complete exchange, also called All-to-All. Although efficient algorithms have b...
Volunteer-based grid computing resources are characteristically volatile and frequently become unavailable due to the autonomy that owners maintain over them. This resource volati...
Distributed applications tend to have a complex design due to issues such as concurrency, synchronization and communication. Researchers in the past have proposed abstractions to ...
