In this paper, a process-aware security taskscheduling algorithm is proposed as IOAware. The algorithm evaluates the performance of hardware in computing nodes, and estimates properties of a task while it is being executed. In subsequent assignments, the algorithm assigns tasks based on the performance of the TaskTracker and the task properties. To verify the theoretical feasibility of the prop...

This paper presents a Quality of Security Service (QoSS) costing framework and demonstration. A method for quantifying costs related to the security service and for storing and retrieving security information is illustrated. We describe a security model for tasks, which incorporates the ideas of variant security services invoked by the task, dynamic network modes, abstract security level choice...
