Cloud computing represents a shift away from computing as a product that is purchased, to computing as a service that is delivered to consumers over the internet from large-scale data …
In this paper, we investigate the benefits that organisations can reap by using “Cloud Computing” providers to augment the computing capacity of their local infrastructure. We …
With the increasing presence, scale, and complexity of distributed systems, resource failures are becoming an important and practical topic of computer science research. While …
The goal of Grid computing is to integrate the usage of computer resources from cooperating partners in the form of Virtual Organizations (VO). One of its key functions is to match jobs to …
The increasing demand for high performance computing resources has led to new forms of collaboration of distributed systems, such as grid computing systems. Moreover, the need for …
Several Grids have been established and used for varying science applications during the last years. Most of these Grids, however, work in isolation and with different utilisation levels …
In this paper, we investigate Cloud computing resource provisioning to extend the computing capacity of local clusters in the presence of failures. We consider three steps in …
