Grid systems have a reputation for being difficult to build and use. We describe how the ease of use of the Styx Grid Services (SGS) software can be combined with the security and...
—Large scale production grids are an important case for autonomic computing. They follow a mutualization paradigm: decision-making (human or automatic) is distributed and largely...
—The computational Grid concept is gaining great popularity as the best way to deliver access to a wide range of distributed computing and data resources. But, as Grids move from...
A major challenge faced in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is locating devices for communication, especially in the case of high node mobility and sparse node density. Present solu...
The ongoing rise of human computation as a means of solving computational problems has created an environment where human workers are often regarded as nameless, faceless computat...
