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 …

The computational grid provides a promising platform for the deployment of various high-
performance computing applications. One issue in implementing computational grid …

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 …

This work concentrates on the design of a system intended for study of advanced scheduling
techniques for planning various types of jobs in a Grid environment. The solution is able to …

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a
shared pool of configurable computing resources. To provide cloud computing services …

Application run-time is a fundamental component in application and job scheduling.
However, accurate predictions of run times are difficult to achieve for parallel applications …

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

In this paper, we study and compare grid and global computing systems and outline the
benefits of having a hybrid system called DIRAC. To evaluate the DIRAC scheduling for high …

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 …

In this paper, we propose a novel distributed resource-scheduling algorithm capable of
handling multiple resource requirements for jobs that arrive in a Grid computing …
