Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
An extension of the -calculus called BS is introduced as a formal basis for functional languages expressing bulk synchronous parallel algorithms. A con uence result is shown. The ...
Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
Sensor networks are long-running computer systems with many sensing/compute nodes working to gather information about their environment, process and fuse that information, and in ...
—We consider resource allocation for distributed streaming applications running in a grid environment, where continuously streaming data needs to be aggregated and processed to p...
