Controlled job migration in load balanced distributed systems

The load balancing problem in distributed systems has been studied by several researchers for many years. The authors believe that balancing the load by transferring jobs from one processor to another considering all the processors in the system might result in unsatisfactory performance due to communication overhead. They introduce a new technique that considers the topology of the interconnection network and the physical parameters of the communication links. While balancing the load, the proposed strategy maintains an acceptable level of stability and security by controlling job migration in the distributed system.<>
