Heterogeneity and uncertainty are two main characteristics of pervasive computing environment and CSCW. CSCW can be viewed as a special case of pervasive computing. Middleware is ...
Parallel and distributed heterogeneous computing systems may operate in an environment that undergoes unpredictable changes causing certain system performance features to degrade....
Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
In this paper we describe Maestro, a dataflow computation framework for Ibis, our Java-based grid middleware. The novelty of Maestro is that it is a self-organizing peer-to-peer s...
Message passing libraries such as Parallel Virtual Machine PVM and Message Passing Interface MPI provide a common Application Programming Interface API to implement parallel...
