Thanks to advances in wide-area network technologies and the low cost of computing
resources, Grid computing came into being and is currently an active research area. One …

Dynamic mapping (matching and scheduling) heuristics for a class of independent tasks
using heterogeneous distributed computing systems are studied. Two types of mapping …

A flexible microactuator (FMA) driven by an electropneumatic (or electrohydraulic) system
has been developed. The FMA has three degrees of freedom, pitch, yaw, and stretch, and …

The problem of scheduling a single DAG onto heterogeneous systems has been studied
extensively. In this paper, we focus on the problem of scheduling more than one DAG at the …

In a heterogeneous distributed computing system, machine and network failures are
inevitable and can have an adverse effect on applications executing on the system. To …

Clouds are rapidly becoming an important platform for scientific applications. In the Cloud
environment with uncountable numeric nodes, resource is inevitably unreliable, which has a …

A heterogeneous computing (HC) system is composed of a suite of geographically
distributed high-performance machines interconnected by a high-speed network, thereby …

Spreadsheets are used extensively in business processes around the world and just like
software, spreadsheets are changed throughout their lifetime causing maintainability issues …

In this paper, a heuristic dynamic scheduling scheme for parallel real-time jobs executing on
a heterogeneous cluster is presented. In our system model, parallel real-time jobs, which are …

We address the problem of scheduling directed a-cyclic task graph (DAG) on a
heterogeneous distributed processor system with the twin objectives of minimizing finish …
