In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
This paper presents Jade, a high-level parallel programming language for managing coarse-grain concurrency. Jade simplifies programming by providing the programmer with the abstra...
We present a method for the efficient access to parts of remote files. The efficiency is achieved by using a file format independent compact pattern description, that allows to re...
This paper describes an approach for application specific conflict prevention based on model-driven refinement of policies prior to deployment. Central to the approach is an algori...
The growing needs in computational power to answer to the increasing number of on-line services and the complexity of applications makes it mandatory to build corresponding hardwar...
