A Strategyproof Mechanism for Scheduling Divisible Loads in Distributed Systems
An important scheduling problem is the one in which there are no dependencies between tasks and the tasks can be of arbitrary size. This is known as the divisible load scheduling ...

Divisible Load Scheduling: An Approach Using Coalitional Games
Scheduling divisible loads in distributed systems is the subject of Divisible Load Theory (DLT). In this paper we show that coalitional game theory is a natural fit for modeling ...

A Strategyproof Mechanism for Scheduling Divisible Loads in Linear Networks
In this paper we augment DLT (Divisible Load Theory) with incentives such that it is beneficial for processors to report their true processing capacity and compute their assignme...
