    Abstract: Demands for reliability in distributed computing systems have become extremely important now a
days due to strong requirements imposed by the dynamic behaviour of user and resource communities. With
the increasing number of entities in the distributed systems, inadequate information and unsuccessful
accessibility have becoming critical factors that impact system performance. We present an adaptive scheduling
which attempts to improve system reliability. Specifically, our scheduling approach combines trust-based
matching scheme with robust mapping rules to deal with diverse processing requirements and heterogeneous
resources. Simulation experiments proved the efficacy of our approach in achieving better system performance
and implicitly help to gain reliable and cost-effective computation.
