This paper describes the vision of the Collective, a compute utility which runs internet services as well as the highly interactive applications we run on desktop computers today....
In order for middleware systems to be adaptive, their properties and services need to support a wide variety of application-specific policies. However, application developers and ...
Cloud computing systems fundamentally provide access to large pools of data and computational resources through a variety of interfaces similar in spirit to existing grid and HPC ...
