Desktop Grids have become very popular nowadays, with projects that include hundred of thousands computers. Desktop grid scheduling faces two challenges. First, the platform is vo...
The progressive processing model allows a system to trade off resource consumption against the quality of the outcome by mapping each activity to a graph of potential solution met...
Precedence constraints are a part of a definition of any scheduling problem. After recalling, in precise graph-theoretical terms, the relations between task-on-arc and task-on-nod...
Real-time scheduling theory has developed powerful tools for translating conditions on aggregate system utilization into per-task schedulability guarantees. The main breakthrough ...
