Matchmaking: Distributed Resource Management for High Throughput Computing

by Rajesh Raman, Miron Livny, Marvin Solomon - In Proceedings of the Seventh IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing , 1998
"... Conventional resource management systems use a system model to describe resources and a centralized scheduler to control their allocation. We argue that this paradigm does not adapt well to distributed systems, particularly those built to support high-throughput computing. Obstacles include heteroge ..."

approach to resource management in distributed environment with decentralized ownership of resources. Novel aspects of the framework include a semi-structured data model that combines schema, data, and query in a simple but powerful specification language, and a clean separation of the matching

Decentralization

by S. Chandrasekhar
"... Public projects in water and sanitation sector in India are partially funded by government with users also contributing cash and labor. We estimate a multinomial logit model to analyze the intended form of contribution by households to a public project, using NSSO, India dataset, covering 76,000 rur ..."

,000 rural and 30,000 urban households. After controlling for existing access to water and sanitation, we find that primary occupation of the household, ownership of assets explain the form of contribution. Worsening of the state of environment, participation in existing programs increases likelihood

lieve They) Have Soft Budgets? Evidence on the Effects of Ownership and Decentral-

by James H. Anderson, Georges Korsun, Peter Murrell, James H , 1999
"... To ascertain the prevalence of soft budgets and to find causes of softness, we surveyed Mongolian enterprises, asking whether state aid was expected when financial difficulties arose. One-quarter of the enterprises expected soft budgets, a large proportion of which have central government ownership. ..."

The Fragmentary federation: Experiences with the Decentralized

by Kirill Danishevski, Dina Balabanova, Martin Mckee, Sarah Atkinson - Health System in Russia', Health Policy and Planning, 21 (3): 183- 194; doi: 10.1 093/heapol/czl 002 , 2006
"... The Russian Federation has undergone a process of major constitutional change in the post-communist period, as a strong central government has ceded extensive powers to the regions. This has important implications for the organization of the health care system which, as with other elements of the So ..."

-working, provide a substantial amount of health care financing. The study demonstrates the complexity of the Russian health care system and identifies the widespread absence of mechanisms that might be used to bring about much needed change. Key words: decentralization, Russia, local government, ownership, finance

Network Growth and Ownership Organization

by Feng Xie , 2008
"... This dissertation explores transportation development and models the evolutionary growth of transportation networks including its determining factors. In particular, it examines the organization of ownership in the provision of transportation infrastructure as a pivotal driving factor. A series of s ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
of stand-alone studies is dedicated to a comprehensive examination of network growth and ownership structure from different approaches analytically, empirically, and in simulation. The analytical model presents a game-theoretic analysis of centralized versus decentralized governance choice on a serial road

Decentralized resource brokering for . . .

by Johan Tordsson , 2006
"... The emergence of Grid computing infrastructures enables researchers to share resources and collaborate in more efficient ways than before, despite belonging to different organizations and being distanced geographically. While the Grid computing paradigm offers new opportunities, it also gives rise t ..."

The development of such a component is a non-trivial task as Grid resources are heterogeneous in hardware, software, availability, ownership and usage policies. A wide range of algorithmically difficult issues must

Ownership, Management and Regulation of decentralized energy and water services: Micro-Public Foundation scheme

by Niek Hietberg, Nels Nelson, Chris-marije Westerink , 2009
"... New Utility Zones aim for autarkia on the neighborhood scale by implementation of decentralized infrastructure technologies in an effort to minimize the environmental effects of urban areas and to escape the grasp of infrastructure service monopolies. After an introduction to the Greenhouse Village, ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart

Penny: Secure, Decentralized Data Management

by Safwan Mahmud Khan, Kevin W. Hamlen , 2012
"... Structured, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks scalably support efficient data-retrieval operations over large data sets without resorting to centralized servers that may be vulnerable to attack or failure. However, data confidentiality policies, such as data ownership privacy, are difficult to enforce rel ..."

This paper presents Penny, a structured P2P network that efficiently supports integrity and confidentiality labeling of data, and enforces a notion of ownership privacy that permits peers to publish data without revealing their ownership of the data.

THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY WORKING PAPERS IN ECONOMICS AND ECONOMETRICS Decentralization, Incentives, and Asset Ownership

by Nhat Le , 2002
"... This paper develops a model to explain why mass privatization can become troublesome when taking into account asymmetry of information and economies of scale. It also shows that, in early stages of reforms, organizational form is irrelevant, but cooperation among the contractual parties is necessary ..."

and agencies are offered a high degree of autonomy for achieving cooperation and high investment. Such a contingent delegation combined with capital mobility creates market booms within the old regime. Later, this regime is gradually replaced by a new ownership structure.
