Given current complexity of Grid technologies, the lack of security of P2P systems and the rigidity of VPN technologies make sharing resources belonging to different institutions s...
We propose coupling based on contracts as a mechanism to address the problem of exchanging information between parties that require information to work together. Specifically, we s...
We consider random 3CNF formulas with n variables and m clauses. It is well known that when m > cn (for a sufficiently large constant c), most formulas are not satisfiable. How...
Legacy program execution system, which is necessary for Grid to enable users to reuse all legacy programs without reengineering source codes, is still an open problem. We propose ...
Desktop Grids have proved to be a suitable platform for the execution of Bag-of-Tasks applications but, being characterized by a high resource volatility, require the availability ...
