For applications in large-scale distributed systems, it is becoming increasingly important to provide reliable scheduling by evaluating the reliability of resources. However, most existing reputation models used for reliability evaluation ignore the critical influence of task runtime. In addition, most previous work uses list heuristics to optimize the makespan and reliability of workflow appli...
