Grid jobs scheduling improvement using priority rules and backfilling

Over the past decade, scheduling in grid computing system has been an active research. However, it is still difficult to find an optimal scheduling algorithm to achieve load balancing. Most of the researchers have focus on schedule-based algorithms such as genetic algorithm and particle swarm opt...
