Private cloud as an important branch of cloud computing has brought significant benefit to
many kinds of conglomerates in resource sharing. With central management of centre …

In this paper we present the Grid Scheduling Simulator (GSSIM), a comprehensive and
advanced simulation tool for distributed computing problems. Based on a classification of …

In the last few years the broad diffusion of Cloud Computing has encouraged the
proliferation of cloud computing providers. However, providers often propose their services …

In workflow management, studying the relationship between workflow process activities and
resource allocation is one of the interesting research topics. Polychromatic sets theory (PST) …

This paper is motivated by, but not limited to, the task of scheduling jobs organized in
workflows to a computational grid. Due to the dynamic nature of grid computing, more or less …

In this paper, the problem of optimum allocation of real-time service workflows over a set of
heterogeneous resources is tackled. In previous works, this problem was formally stated in …

In this paper a discrete-continuous project scheduling problem with discounted cash flows is
considered. Each activity requires for its processing discrete resources and an amount of a …

In this chapter, the idea of combining SCOS and OACR into one-time decision in one
console is presented, named Dual Scheduling of Cloud Services and Computing Resources …

Applying scheduling techniques to manage activity instances (tasks) in executors' personal
work lists is crucial in workflow management systems (WFMSs). To date, most practical …

This paper compares the quality and execution times of several algorithms for scheduling
service based workflow applications with changeable service availability and parameters. A …
