Meta-scheduling systems play a crucial role in scheduling jobs that are submitted for
execution and require special attention because an increasing number of jobs are being …

Predicting network throughput is important for network-aware applications. Network
throughput depends on a number of factors, and many throughput prediction methods have …

Grid applications are increasingly becoming dependent on network resources. Predicted
network throughput is a useful parameter for network-aware scheduling for such …

Grids enable sharing resources of heterogeneous nature and administration. In such
distributed systems, the network is usually taken for granted which is potentially problematic …

The knowledge of existing grid resources and their characteristics is important for grid
schedulers and resource brokers. In our work, we have proposed a network management …

Grids offer the potential to carry out difficult computing tasks and achieve superior aggregate
performance. However, grids are highly complex systems. They consist of heterogeneous …

A meta-scheduler is used to efficiently assign tasks to distributed resources. Additionally, the
Internet is often used to share the data of tasks on the resources. Throughput prediction will …
