Comments on first draft

Good organization; look forward to the text. I also suggest this paper

http://paper.ijcsns.org/07_book/201006/20100619.pdf A guide to dynamic load balancing in distributed computer systems AM Alakeel - International Journal of Computer Science and …, 2010 - paper.ijcsns.org

Comments on second draft

Generally well written; would like to see you extend it to describe situations in which each strategy works best. If you can find empirical results to support those guidelines, so much the better.

I think you need a better delineation of static vs. dynamic. Since Central Manager assigns each new task to the processor with the least work, it sounds like it is dividing the work at run time.

The load-balancing pseudocode needs to be accompanied by a prose explanation.
