With the increasing functionality and complexity of Cloud systems, fault tolerance becomes
an essential requirement for tasks executed in Cloud systems, especially for the workflow …

In the existing studies on fault-tolerant scheduling, the active replication schema makes use
of e+ 1 replicas for each task to tolerate E failures. However, in this paper, we show that it …

We examine the problem of reliable workflow scheduling with less resource redundancy. As
scheduling workflow applications in heterogeneous systems, either for optimizing the …

Reliability is widely identified as an increasingly relevant issue in heterogeneous service-
