An efficient resource allocation scheme plays a vital role in scheduling applications on high-
performance computing resources in order to achieve desired level of service. The major …

Online spectrum auctions offer ample flexibility for bidders to request and obtain spectrum
on-the-fly. Such flexibility, however, opens up new vulnerabilities to bidder manipulation …

Real-time applications with security requirements are emerging in various areas including
government, education, and business. However, conventional real-time scheduling …

We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance
reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to allocate …

We consider non-preemptively scheduling a bag of independent mixed tasks (hard, firm and
soft) in computational grids. Based upon task type, we construct a novel generalized …

Grid resource allocation mechanism maps tasks to the available grid resources according to
some predefined criterion, such as minimizing makespan or execution cost, load balancing …

We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees to Grid users through advance
reservation of resources. Advance reservation mechanisms provide the ability to allocate …

Traditionally, high-performance computing (HPC) systems usually deal with the so-called
best-effort jobs which do not have deadlines and are scheduled in an as-quick-as-possible …

This paper addresses the problem of scheduling independent tasks with different priorities
and deadline constraints in computational grids. The problem is first formulated as a bin …

In recent years, increasing demand for computing has led to the development of
computational grid. Typically scheduling challenges tend to be NP-hard problems where …
