Robust Resource Allocation for Large-scale Distributed Shared Resource Environments

This paper presents a new formulation of the resource selection and binding problem and proposes a new algorithm called integrated selection and binding to solve this problem. Our insight is that a resource selection algorithm should consider binding failures. Consequently, the key idea of the integrated selection and binding approach is to decompose a resource collection request into components that can be bound and composed independently and to select multiple sets of resources for each component. The integrated approach is more efficient and effective than the separate approach for competitive access to federated resources
