In parallel computing environments such as HPC clusters and the Grid, data-intensive applications involve large overhead costs due to a concentration of access to the files on co...
This paper describes SymbioticSphere, a novel biologically-inspired architecture that allows grid systems (application services and middleware platforms) to be scalable and adapti...
PDE solvers using Adaptive Mesh Refinement on block structured grids are some of the most challenging applications to adapt to massively parallel computing environments. We descr...

Single sign-on is critical for the usability of distributed systems. While there are several authentication mechanisms which support single sign-on (e.g. Kerberos and X.509), it m...
Identity management and federation is becoming an ever present problem in large multi-institutional environments. By their nature, Grids span multiple institutional administration...
