Very large size Peer-to-Peer systems are often required to implement efficient and scalable services, but usually they can be built only by assembling resources contributed by ma...
This work proposes a parallel memetic algorithm applied to the total tardiness single machine scheduling problem. Classical models of parallel evolutionary algorithms and the gene...
We consider the execution of a complex application on a heterogeneous "grid" computing platform. The complex application consists of a suite of identical, independent pr...
This paper addresses the potential benefit of sharing jobs between independent sites in a grid computing environment. Also the aspect of parallel multi-site job execution on diff...
The arrival process of jobs submitted to a parallel system is bursty, leading to fluctuations in the load at many time scales. In particular, rare events of extreme load may occu...
