We define CWS, a non-preemptive scheduling policy for workloads with correlated job sizes. CWS tackles the scheduling problem by inferring the expected sizes of upcoming jobs bas...
Continued research into distributed agent-based systems and evolving web based technologies are opening up tremendous possibilities for the deployment of large scale and highly ex...
BOINC, a middleware system for volunteer computing, allows hosts to be attached to multiple projects. Each host periodically requests jobs from project servers and executes the jo...
We consider scheduling real-time distributable threads in the presence of node/link failures and message losses in large-scale network systems. We present a distributed scheduling...
In this paper, we study the problem of on demand minimum length packet scheduling in single-hop multichannel systems. Examples of these systems are those centered around switching...
