Abstract
This paper presents an improved framework for an existing adaptive method for scheduling divisible load. The proposed framework delimits in a new way the application field of the method. This method can be used to schedule parallel applications whose total workload is unknown a priori, and can deal as well with the unpredictable execution conditions commonly encountered on grids. Some parameters which quantify the dynamic nature of these varying execution conditions are discussed in the paper.
