A major hurdle facing data intensive grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures that occur in the grid-environment. Implementing the fault-tolerance transparently a...
Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
The Asteroseismic Modeling Portal (AMP) provides a webbased interface for astronomers to run and view simulations that derive the properties of Sun-like stars from observations of...
The packet routing problem, i.e., the problem to send a given set of unit-size packets through a network on time, belongs to one of the most fundamental routing problems with impor...
—Mass adoption of virtual world platforms for education and training implies efficient management of computational resources. In Second Life Grid and OpenSimulator, commonly used...
