    Secure and Task Abortion Aware GA-Based Hybrid Metaheuristics for Grid Scheduling

    In traditional distributed computing the users and owners of the computational resources usually belong to the same administrative domain. Therefore security and reliability of the resources are not concerned ...

    A GA(TS) Hybrid Algorithm for Scheduling in Computational Grids

    The hybridization of heuristics methods aims at exploring the synergies among stand alone heuristics in order to achieve better results for the optimization problem under study. In this paper we present a hybr...

    Parallel Skeletons for Tabu Search Method Based on Search Strategies and Neighborhood Partition

    In this paper we present two parallel skeletons for Tabu Search method -a meta-heuristic for solving combinatorial optimization problems. Our parallel skeletons are designed and implemented from the generic pa...

    Approximating scheduling problems in parallel

    We show how to approximate in NC the problem of Scheduling Unrelated Parallel Machines, for a fixed number of machines. We develop a (2 + ε)-approximate parallel algorithm for the problem. Our approach shows h...

    On parallel versus sequential approximation

    Here we deal with the class NCX of optimization problems that arc approximable within constant ratio in NC. We first introduce a new kind of reduction that preserves the relative error of the approximate solut...
