Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-theshelf processors become cheaper and faster, it...
Previous work on scheduling dynamic competitive jobs is focused on multiprocessors configurations. This paper presents a new distributed dynamic scheduling scheme for sporadic re...
This paper presents a simple protocol that provides application processes with an approximate real-time notion. This time notion is very versatile. At one extreme, it behaves at l...
This paper presents general techniques for formally modeling, simulating, and model checking real-time resource-sharing protocols in Real-Time Maude. The “scheduling subset” o...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
