This thesis presents flexible abstractions for specifying resource management policies, together with efficient mechanisms for implementing those abstractions. Several novel scheduling techniques are introduced, including both randomized and deterministic algorithms that provide proportional-share control over resource consumption rates. Such control is beyond the capabilities of conventional s...

Virtualization technology enriches the tools including live-migration for resource scheduling. Resource scheduler adjusts resource allocation to keep quality of service against load fluctuation as well as save energy. Taxonomy of resource scheduling for virtualized data center are explained in this work. The latest technologies are introduced and compared. We also indicate the trend of its deve...

By increasing the use of distributed generation (DG) in the distribution network operation, an entity called virtual power plant (VPP) has been introduced to control, dispatch and aggregate the generation of DGs, enabling them to participate either in the electricity market or the distribution network operation. The participation of VPPs in the electricity market has made challenges to fairly a...

The definition of a generic Grid scheduling architecture is the concern of both the Open Grid Forum’s Grid Scheduling Architecture Research Group and a CoreGRID research group of the same name. Such an architecture should provide a blueprint for Grid system and middleware designers and assist them in linking their scheduling requirements to diverse existing solutions and standards. Based on wor...

In this work we report preliminary results of automatically generating parallel code from equation-based models together at two levels: Performing inline expansion of a Runge-Kutta solver combined with finegrained automatic parallelization of the resulting RHS opens up new possibilities for generating high performance code, which is becoming increasingly relevant when multi-core computers are b...

Recently, in the field of project scheduling problems the concept of partially renewable resources has been introduced. Theoretically, it is a generalization of both renewable and non-renewable resources. From an applied point of view, partially renewable resources allow us to model a large variety of situations that do not fit in classical models, but can be found in real problems in timetabli...
