Abstract. Distributed Virtual Environment systems have experienced a spectacular growth last years. One of the key issues in the design of scalable and costeffective DVE systems is...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
We are developing a system for collaborative research and development for a distributed group of researchers at different institutions around the world. In a new paradigm for coll...
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...
Object-oriented modeling and design is a way of solving problems using models based upon real-world concepts. In this paradigm, the fundamental construct is the object, an entity ...
