Since processor performance scalability will now mostly be achieved through thread-level parallelism, there is a strong incentive to parallelize a broad range of applications, inc...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling concurrent jobs on clusters where application data is stored on the computing nodes. This setting, in which scheduling computations ...

This paper presents a set of architectures for the composition of ubiquitous computing applications. It describes research that is being carried out in "extrovert-Gadgets&quo...
In this paper we sketch a framework supporting contract enactment within the context of virtual organisation units that are dynamically created in order to achieve a common object...
