This paper describes an architecture that provides support for quality of service (QoS) specification and enforcement in heterogeneous distributed computing systems. The Quartz Qo...
Increasing hardware performance of desktop computers accounts for a low-cost computing potential that is waiting to be efficiently used. However, the complexity of installation a...
Computer science and especially heterogeneous distributed computing is an experimental science. Simulation, emulation, or in-situ implementation are complementary methodologies to...
Heterogeneity has been considered in scheduling, but without taking into account the temporal variation of completion times of the sub-tasks for a divisible, independent task. In ...
