We propose, implement and evaluate three admission models for computational Grids. The models take the expected demand into account and offer a specific performance guarantee. Th...
—As parallel file systems span larger and larger numbers of nodes in order to provide the performance and scalability necessary for modern cluster applications, the need for fau...
Advance reservation allows users to request available nodes in the future, whereas economy provides an incentive for resource owners to be part of the Grid, and encourages users t...
—The research area of Multimedia Content Analysis (MMCA) considers all aspects of the automated extraction of new knowledge from large multimedia data streams and archives. In re...

Peer-to-peer overlays envision a single overlay substrate that can be used (possibly simultaneously) by many applications, but current overlays either target fast, few-hop lookups...
In this paper, we present DeployWare to address the deployment of distributed and heterogeneous software systems on large scale infrastructures such as grids. Deployment of softwa...
Hidden information is a critical issue for the successful delivery of SLAs in grid systems. It arises when the agents (hardware and software resources) employed to serve a task be...
Replication is a key technique for improving fault tolerance. Replication can also improve application performance under some circumstances, but can have the opposite effect under...
Collective operations and non-blocking point-to-point operations are two important parts of MPI that each provide important performance and programmability benefits. Although non...
Long term load prediction can assist task scheduling and load balancing greatly in distributed environment such as computational grid. Due to the dynamic property of grid environm...
