This paper presents a novel architecture called the MetaGrid based on Grid computing concepts for resource provisioning for wide-area network-enabled applications. Resource provis...
In this paper we propose the OPTNET, a novel optical network and associated coherence protocol for scalable multiprocessors. The network divides its channels into broadcast and po...
Distributed applications are based on algorithms which should be able to deal with time constraints. It is mandatory to express time constraints in (mathematical) models and the cu...
Workflow technology is an emerging paradigm for systematic modeling and orchestration of job flow for enterprise and scientific applications. This paper introduces BPEL4Job, a BPEL...
Practical scalability of Description Logic (DL) reasoning is an important premise for the adoption of OWL in a real-world setting. Many highly efficient optimizations for the DL ta...
