Abstract. In this paper, we analyze the problem of grid resource brokering in the presence of economic information about the price of resources. We examine in detail the main tasks...
A contract algorithm is an algorithm which is given, as part of its input, a specified amount of allowable computation time. In contrast, interruptible algorithms may be interrupt...
Deadlock detection scheduling is an important, yet oft-overlooked problem that can significantly affect the overall performance of deadlock handling. An excessive initiation of ...
In Grid systems, nontrivial qualities of service have to be provided to users by the resource providers. However, resource management in a decentralized infrastructure is a complex...
We argue that the key underpinning of the current state-of-the real-time practice — the priority artifact — and that of the current state-of-the real-time art — deadline-bas...
