Simulation of Search and Distribution Methods for Jobs in a WEB Operating System (WOS)

Internet or WEB computing concepts, such as the Web Operating System (WOS™), require suitable methods for finding the most effective hardware and software environment for an application execution on the network. We present an efficient search strategy and show that the resulting communication load penalty is well acceptable while preventing the network from being flooded by administrative overhead messages. Using stochastic time estimation, we demonstrate the favorable response time behavior and performance of the search algorithm.
