Load Balancing and Job Migration Algorithms for Autonomic Grid Environment

Resource management and load balancing are the main areas of concern in a distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic environment like Grid. Load balancing may further cause Job migration or in some cases resubmission of Job. In this paper a number of job migration algorithms have been surveyed and studied which have resulted because of the Load balancing problem. A comparative analysis of these algorithms has also been presented which summarizes the utility and applicability of different algorithms in different environment and circumstances
