Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing: 12th International Workshop, JSSPP 2006, Saint-Malo, France, June 26, 2006, Revised Selected Papers (Lecture Notes in Computer Science (4376))

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2006, held in Saint-Malo, France, in June 2006 in conjunction with the Joint International Conference on Measurement and Modeling of Computer Systems SIGMETRICS/Performance 2006. The 12 revised full research papers presented went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers cover all current issues of job scheduling strategies for parallel processing such as workflow problems, scheduling performance, job migration issues, performance degradation by resource sharing, and job modeling issues in grid computing.
