Grids are emerging as a promising solution for resource and computation demanding
applications. However, the heterogeneity of resources in Grid computing, complicates …

Workflow management is emerging as an important service in Grid computing. A simple
model that can be used for the representation of certain workflows is a directed acyclic …

The existing Grid workflow scheduling projects do not handle recursive loops which are
characteristic to many scientific problems. We propose a hybrid approach for scheduling …

Workflow scheduling is one of the key issues in the management of workflow execution.
Scheduling is a process that maps and manages execution of inter-dependent tasks on …

Scheduling is a key concern for the execution of performance-driven Grid applications. In
this paper we comparatively examine different existing approaches for scheduling of …

Grid computing enables large-scale resource sharing and collaboration for solving
advanced science and engineering applications. Central to the grid computing is the …

The workflow paradigm has become the standard to represent processes and their
execution flows. With the evolution of e-Science, workflows are becoming larger and more …

Scientific workflows are a topic of great interest in the grid community that sees in the
workflow model an attractive paradigm for programming distributed wide-area grid …

Grid workflows can be seen as special scientific workflows involving high performance
and/or high throughput computational tasks. Much work in grid workflows has focused on …

The workflow scheduling problem which is considered difficult on the Grid becomes even
more challenging when multiple scheduling criteria are used for optimization. The existing …
