An increasingly important trend in the engineering of complex systems is the design of component integration standards. Such standards de ne rules of interaction and shared commun...
Large-scale ecological simulations are natural candidates for distributed discrete event simulation. In optimistic simulation of spatially explicit models, a difficult problem ar...
We have de ne a network programming model called Mobile Assistant Programming (MAP) for development and execution of communication applications in large scale networks of heteroge...
Many irregular scientific computing problems can be modeled by directed acyclic task graphs (DAGs). In this paper, we present an efficient run-time system for executing general as...
Evaluating the design of a distributed application is di cult but provides useful information for program development and maintenance. In distributed debugging, for example, proce...
