We study two problems directly resulting from organizational decentralization of the Grid. Firstly, the problem of fair scheduling in systems in which the grid scheduler has compl...
Shared machines in opportunistic grids typically have large quantities of unused disk space. These resources could be used to store application and checkpointing data when the mac...
A grid has to provide strong incentive for participating sites to join and stay in it. Participating sites are concerned with the performance improvement brought by the gird for th...
Since participants in a computational Grid may be independent bodies, some mechanisms are necessary for resolving their differences. The contribution of this work is designing a b...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
