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

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 …

The allocation of the computational load across different processing elements is an
important issue in parallel computing. Indeed, an unbalanced load distribution can strongly …

The Internet provides a large-scale environment for (intelligent) software agents. Agents are
autonomous (mobile) processes, capable of communication with other agents, interaction …

Checkpointing of single-threaded applications has been long studied [3],[6],[8],[12],[15].
Much less research has been done for user-level checkpointing of multithreaded …

Effectual allocation of resources with fault tolerance is one of the key targets in any
computational grid environment to accomplish the task execution on time. In this paper, a …

Checkpoint/restart is a general idea for which particular implementations enable various
functionalities in computer systems, including process migration, gang scheduling …

Scientists use advanced computing techniques to assist in answering the complex questions
at the forefront of discovery. The High Performance Computing (HPC) scientific applications …

In simple words, process checkpointing means saving the state of a process, so that, it can
be reconstructed in the future. Checkpointing followed by restore is important for the purpose …

In most of today's agent systems migration of agents requires homogeneity in the
programming language and/or agent platform in which an agent has been designed. In this …
