This paper describes the dynamic load-balancing and high performance communication provided in Jcluster, an efficient Java parallel environment. For the efficient loadbalancing,...
Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
We explore the creation of a metacomputer by the aggregation of independent sites. Joining a metacomputer is voluntary, and hence it has to be an endeavor that mutually benefits a...
