Scientific workflows are a powerful programming technique for specifying complex computations using a number of otherwise independent components. When used in a Grid environment, ...
In this paper we present a robust software infrastructure for metacomputing. The system is intended to be used by others as a building block for large and powerful computational g...
Abstract. Monitoring systems are nowadays ubiquitous in complex environments, such as Grids. Their use is fundamental for performance evaluation, problem spotting, advanced debuggi...
Self-organization is built upon two main building blocks: adaptive and uncoupled interaction mechanisms and context-awareness. Here we show how the middleware TOTA (Tuples On The ...
