Nowadays, cloud computing is an emerging technology due to virtualization and providing
low price services on pay-as per-use basis. One of the main challenges in this regard is how …

A disruptive technology that is influencing not only computing paradigm but every other
business is the rise of big data. Internet of Things (IoT) applications are considered to be a …

Clusters, Grids, and peer‐to‐peer (P2P) networks have emerged as popular paradigms for
next generation parallel and distributed computing. They enable aggregation of distributed …

Advances in hardware and software technologies have made it possible to deploy parallel
applications over increasingly large sets of distributed resources. Consequently, the study of …

Computational Grids, emerging as an infrastructure for next generation computing, enable
the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources for solving …

It has been reported [25] that life holds but two certainties, death and taxes. And indeed, it
does appear that any society-and in the context of this article, any large-scale distributed …

Computational grids process large, computationally intensive problems on small data sets.
In contrast, data grids process large computational problems that in turn require evaluating …

Since the advent of distributed computer systems an active field of research has been the
investigation of scheduling strategies for parallel applications. The common approach is to …

The Grid and agent communities both develop concepts and mechanisms for open
distributed systems, albeit from different perspectives. The Grid community has historically …
