Pervasive Grid is motivated by the advances in Grid technologies and the proliferation of
pervasive systems, and is leading to the emergence of a new generation of applications that …

The Grid is rapidly emerging as the dominant paradigm for wide area distributed application
systems. As a result, there is a need for modeling and analyzing the characteristics and …

50 Autonomic Computing: Concepts, Infrastructure, and Applications used by biological
systems to deal with similar challenges. This chapter motivates and introduces autonomic …

The increasing complexity, heterogeneity and dynamism of emerging pervasive Grid
environments and applications has necessitated the development of autonomic self …

Existing cycle-stealing frameworks are generally based on simple client-server or
hierarchical style architectures. G2: P2P moves cycle-stealing into the'pure'peer-to-peer …

Advances in computing and communication technologies are rapidly leading to a revolution
in the Grid concept and the realization of a Pervasive Grid that seamlessly integrates …

This paper presents G2 Remoting, a generic remote-object based framework for creating
cycle-stealing parallel applications. The framework is built using the extensibility features of …

I would like to thank my Ph. D. supervisors Prof. Dr. Kurt Rothermel and Prof. Dr. Wolfgang
Küchlin for giving me the opportunity to work in their groups. My special thanks go to my co …

Genetic algorithms (GAs) have long been applied to tackling scheduling problems,
particularly JSP, with varying degrees of success. However despite advances in GA theory …

Cycle stealing systems use idle PCs to create virtual supercomputers. Utilizing third party
PCs in this way is very attractive but one fraught with problems. Firstly, writing applications is …
