Request Scheduling Techniques in Large Scale Computing Environments

Abstract: Resource management is a crucial area of research since the emergence of large-scale computing environments. The user�s satisfaction these computing systems depends on the efficiency of resource provisioning. Request Schedulingis a key component of resource provisioning and management. Continuously improving the efficiency of request schedulingprinciples significantly enhances the performance of these systems. A detailed survey of literature presented in this paper helps to understand the course of research in this area.
