Current distributed parallel platforms can provide the resources required to execute a scientific application efficiently. However, when these platforms are shared by multiple use...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
