✦ Synopsis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing, JSSPP 2002, held in conjunction with HPDC-11 and FFG-5 in Edinburgh, Scotland in July 2002.

The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision; they present state-of-the-art research results in the area with emphasis on classical massively parallel processing scheduling, in particular backfilling, and on scheduling in the context of grid computing.
