Abstract Metacomputing is the seamless application of geographically-separated distributed computing resources to user applications. We consider the scheduling of metaapplications;...
We consider a certain class of parallel program segments in which the order of messages sent affects the completion time. We give characterization of these parallel program segmen...
These days an increasing number of applications, especially in science and engineering, are dealing with a massive amount of data; hence they are dataintensive. Bioinformatics, da...
We consider scheduling problems in which a job consists of components of different types to be processed on m machines. Each machine is capable of processing components of a singl...
Abstract. With the increasing popularity of large-scale distributed computing networks, a new aspect has to be considered for scheduling problems: machines may not be available per...
A wireless packet network is considered in which each user transmits a stream of packets to its destination. The transmit power of each user interferes with the transmission of al...
