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 present a structure for monitoring a large set of computational clusters. We illustrate methods for scaling a monitor network comprised of many clusters while ke...

Abstract. The last decades have seen the emergence of the sea of objects paradigm for structuring complex distributed systems on workstations and local area networks. In this appro...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
