The near-future penetration of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) is expected to be large enough to have a significant impact on the power grid. If PEVs were allowed to charge simultaneously at the maximum power rate, the distribution grid would face ...

The GRID infrastructure provides an aggregation of a wide variety of distributed resources for solving large-scale data intensive problems in various fields. The aim of this paper is to propose a method for grid resource management based on lottery ...

The authors present a flexible object-oriented framework for specifying modular resource management policies in concurrent systems. The framework generalizes the basic abstractions they originally developed for lottery scheduling. It is independent of ...
