Abstract

In this paper, we present a new dynamic, and adaptive distributedload balancing algorithm. This algorithm is able to handle theloss of some computational nodes, the connectivity of the network,and the variations in tasks and transfer delays. An experimentalverification of the algorithm is presented using PlanetLab.
