In such a system, a small number of running jobs with unexpectedly large memory allocation requirements may significantly increase the queuing delay times of the rest of jobs with normal memory req...

The results of a study suggest post offer screening makes a difference on post hire injury and resulting costs. These findings are consistent with th...

Globus has become a standard in the construction of Grid computing environments. However, it still needs more work and research to satisfy requirements from various grid applications such as workflow services. We propose a Meta Scheduling Framework (MSF) for workflow service management based on the Globus toolkit. The MSF provides an XML-based Job Control Markup Language (JCML) for describing i...
