TL;DR: The current implementation of the NWS for Unix and TCP/IP sockets is described and examples of its performance monitoring and forecasting capabilities are provided.

TL;DR: The AppLeS (Application Level Scheduling) project provides a methodology, application software, and software environments for adaptively scheduling and deploying applications in heterogeneous, multiuser grid environments and outlines the findings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the problem of making short and medium-term forecasts of CPU availability on time-shared Unix systems and evaluate the accuracy with which availability can be measured using the Unix load average, the Unix utility "vmstat" and the Network Weather Service (NWS) CPU sensor that uses both.

TL;DR: Some common problems and expectations of grid computing for high throughput proteomics are discussed and a domain-specific bioinformatics workflow management system is built on top of APST, which further streamlines grid deployment of life science applications.
