Generalized Load Sharing for Homogeneous Networks of Distributed Environment by A. Satheesh, K. Vimal Kumar, S. Krishnaveni

“…We propose a method for job migration policies by considering effective usage of global memory in addition to CPU load sharing in distributed systems. When a node is identified for lacking sufficient memory space to serve jobs, one or more jobs of the node will be migrated to remote nodes with low memory allocations. …”

Conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent by XU Xiao-long, CHENG Chun-ling, XIONG Jing-yi

“…In order to utilize the resources of all nodes in networks fully,a novel conjunct model of cloud ＆ client computing based on multi-agent was proposed,dividing the computing environment into three layers in accordance with the type of node and adopting agent to represent the behavior and resource of node to realize more efficient resource sharing and collaboration.The model takes full account of available resources owned by terminal nodes and deploys tasks in an orderly manner to the core nodes,servers and terminal nodes in order to maximize the efficiency of the resource utilization.To assure that tasks could be completed efficiently and reliably,a multi-agent-based collaborative multi-ring management mechanism was also presented,which is particularly suitable for the cloud ＆ client conjunct computing environment and propitious to enhance the stability of resources sharing and nodes cooperation and relieve the load of core nodes.Finally,the construction method of experimental system and application demonstration based on the model was provided for reference.…”
