In this paper, we discuss typical scheduling structures that occur in computational grids.
Scheduling algorithms and selection strategies applicable to these structures are introduced …

Optimizing a given software system to exploit the features of the underlying system has been
an area of research for many years. Recently, a number of self‐adapting software systems …

The Distributed ASCI Supercomputer (DAS) is a homogeneous wide-area distributed system
consisting of four cluster computers at different locations. DAS has been used for research …

Thanks to vast improvements in wide-area network performance and powerful yet low-cost
computers, Grid computing has emerged as a promising attractive computing paradigm …

At least three factors in the existing migration frameworks make them less suitable in Grid
systems especially when the goal is to improve the response times for individual …

Parallel programming on clusters of workstations is increasingly attractive, but dynamic load
balancing is needed to make efficient use of the available resources. Dynamite provides …

With the prevalence of powerful workstations and rapid advances in high-speed computer
network technologies, the use of a network of workstations (NOW) as a virtual parallel …

This paper deals with the problem of load balancing in a network of workstations. Based on
the study of recent work in the area, we propose a general classification of load balancing …

Dynamic reconfiguration refers to the ability of changing properties and structure of a
distributed system, while it is running. It is essential when designing applications that need …

Abstract 1 In this paper we study hierarchical job scheduling strategies for clusters of
workstations. Our approach uses two-level scheduling: global scheduling and local …
