Load Balancing (LB) is a great challenge in dynamic and heterogeneous environment like Grid. Load Balancing based on the idea of migration of excess load from heavily loaded node to lightly loaded ones. The main goal of LB is to increase resource utilization and decreases response time of jobs. An effective and efficient LB algorithm is required to balance the load in dynamic Grid environments. In this book, a distributed, dynamic hierarchical based model has been proposed to represent the Grid architecture in order to manage load. The main feature of this model is that it supports...
