title = "Evaluating tools for performance modeling of grid applications",
abstract = "A Grid is a collection of heterogeneous distributed computing resources for solving large-scale computational and data intensive problems. It is a dynamic environment where resources attributes -such as load- change constantly hindering performance evaluation activities. Performance models could be a solution to this problem because they provide a way of performing repeatable and controllable experiments. Several tools have been developed for modeling scheduling algorithms in Grids. We believe, however, that if these tools are to be used for modeling application performance they should be improved by adding some particular features. In this paper, we identify such features and evaluate two modeling tools based on those features. These tools are used to represent the execution of applications in the Grid SUMA.",
