Abstract: A number of load sharing/balancing mechanisms was devel oped in order to improve the execution of a distributed applica tion in a workstation cluster. The contribution presents an adaptive load sharing system basing on a load prediction for the computing nodes of the system. Using an online calculation of stochastic parameters of processes the quality of load sharing could be improved once more. The reachable results will be predicted using a Petri Net simulation. Furthermore the execution of a benchmark program in the new environment will be discussed.
