Academic publications from my research on grid computing, dynamic web service deployment, and QoS-enabled hosting environments.
Dynamic allocation of servers to jobs in a grid hosting environment
C Kubicek, M Fisher, P McKee, R Smith — BT Technology Journal, 2004, Springer
As computational resources become available for use over the Internet, a requirement has emerged to reconfigure servers to an optimal allocation to cope with an unpredictable flow of jobs.
Dynamically deploying web services on a grid using Dynasoar
P Watson, C Fowler, C Kubicek et al. — IEEE International Conference on Object and Component-Oriented Real-Time Distributed Computing, 2006, IEEE
Dynasoar is an infrastructure for dynamically deploying Web services over a grid or the Internet. It enables an approach to grid computing in which distributed applications are built from dynamically deployed services.
Dynamic allocation of servers in a grid hosting environment
M Fisher, C Kubicek, P McKee, I Mitrani et al. — Fifth IEEE/ACM International Workshop on Grid Computing, 2004, IEEE
A grid hosting environment is described, where servers may be reconfigured dynamically from one type of work to another in response to changes in demand.
Applying a stochastic model to a dynamic, QoS enabled web services hosting environment
C Kubicek — Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2006, Elsevier
Data centres which host Web services for other organisations and users in a Grid environment must provide for Quality of Service (QoS) requirements to be specified to ensure deployed services meet expectations.
An architecture for QoS enabled dynamic web service deployment
C Kubicek, M Fisher, P McKee, R Smith — 4th All Hands Meeting, 2005
A system architecture for the dynamic deployment and running of Web services is presented. Service code is held in a code store; service deployment is triggered on demand by incoming requests.
