—We consider a scheduling problem in which a bounded number of jobs can be processed simultaneously by a single machine. The input is a set of n jobs J = {J1, . . . , Jn}. Each j...
In order to co-ordinate multiple resource providers in grid environment to meet a common objective, support for negotiation is needed to establish a contract between the users and...

We are given a set of jobs each has a processing time, a non-negative weight, a set of possible time intervals in which it can be processed and a cost. The goal is to schedule a f...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
Abstract. We give randomized agreement algorithms with constant expected running time in asynchronous systems subject to process failures, where up to a minority of processes may f...
