Internet data centers (IDCs) perform multi-customer hosting on a virtualized collection of resources while Grid computing generalizes distributed computing by focusing on large sc...
Performance management of clusters and Grids poses many challenges. Sharing large distributed sets of resources can provide efficiencies, but it also introduces complexity in ter...
Data-intensive, interactive applications are an important class of metacomputing (Grid) applications. They are characterized by large, time-varying data flows between data provid...
It is a challenging task to provide Quality of Service (QoS) control for a shared high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) wireless channel. In this paper, we first propose a ne...
One of the main challenges in Grid computing is efficient allocation of resources (CPU-hours, network bandwidth, etc.) to the tasks submitted by users. Due to the lack of centrali...
