In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
Virtual spaces based on the metaphor of "shared network places" are becoming a well accepted implementation approach for multiuser, multimedia, distributed cooperative w...
Writing parallel applications for computational grids is a challenging task. To achieve good performance, algorithms designed for local area networks must be adapted to the differ...
