Abstract. Global computing applications co-ordinate distributed computations across widely-dispersed hosts. Such systems present formidable design and implementation challenges to ...

If parallelism can be successfully exploited in a program, significant reductions in execution time can be achieved. However, if sections of the code are dominated by parallel ove...
Ad-hoc data exchange, e.g., by sending email attachments, leads to multiple copies or versions of a document at dispersed nodes in a network. However, their relationships such as ...
We describe an incomplete but sound and efficient livelock freedom test for infinite state asynchronous reactive systems. The method s a system into a set of simple control flow cy...
In this paper we propose a systematic approach to performance analysis of workflow applications on the Grid. We introduce an ideal model for the workflow execution time and explain...
