Abstract— This paper focuses on large-scale distributed systems that can be modeled as workflows of activities sharing resources, knowledge, know-how and services. We propose a ...
Middleware simplifies the construction of distributed applications. These applications typically require continuous uptime. The maintenance of distributed applications, though, im...
The dramatic improvements in the processing rates of parallel computers are turning many compute-bound jobs into IO-bound jobs. Parallel le systems have been proposed to better ma...
Grid-based computing frameworks leverage underutilized processing and storage resources. We present and evaluate a new high-performance, reliable middleware layer that can incorpo...
