A Competence-based Scheduling Method for Web Computing

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a heuristic-scheduling algorithm, called Competence Based Method (CBM), to dynamically distribute workload for task allocation problem in a Web/Java-based computing environment. CBM is designed to meet four properties of Web computing: heterogeneity, scalability, centralization, and non -dedication host. CBM can be applied to some independent/dependent links scheduling problems. Compared with the competing algorithms, the experimental results show that the proposed CBM performs faster in parallel time and is closed to the optimal one.
