چکیده

The organizers of the fifth international conference on Open Repositories list nine polar dichotomies that represent “The Grand Integration Challenge” for the repository community/movement. In this paper we take up the challenge. We do so in the context of a program of work being undertaken at our institution to build infrastructure for the academy in general, working towards a modular 'Academic Working Environment' (AWE) which encompasses both teaching and learning on one hand and research on the other. Repositories and the ecosystem of services and workflows that surround them play a key role in this emerging system.

Embracing Heterogeneity in Scheduling MapReduce

Current data-intensive computing applications such as MapReduce and Hadoop do not fundamentally consider heterogeneity of node and workload running in the cluster. In this paper, we point out potential impacts of heterogeneity on these applications and propose Medley, a new scheduler that takes into account heterogeneity. We test our design with detailed simulations and demonstrate benefits of ...
