What is it about?

Task scheduling in heterogeneous computing networks is an interesting and complicated problem, still widely studied. We overview some open problems in this area, questions that deserve, in our opinion, more attention. Some of these aspects, to our knowledge, have not been discussed in literature so far.

Why is it important?

Grid computing, both volunteer computing and Enterprise desktop grid systems, play increasing role in scientific computing. Task scheduling is able to produce interesting results earlier, solve problems more quickly, save time, energy, workload, and much more. We overview a number of open problems in the area.

Perspectives

Writing this article was a great pleasure. My co-authors are both my good friends, colleagues, and collaborators. In this article, we describe some interesting and promising problems we are working on.
