Abstract. Transparent information integration across distributed and heterogeneous data sources and computational tools is a prime concern for bioinformatics. Recently, there have ...
This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
Scientists are increasingly utilizing Grids to manage large data sets and execute scientific experiments on distributed resources. Scientific workflows are used as means for modeli...
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks have emerged as a popular means of causing mass targeted service disruptions, often for extended periods of time. The relative ease an...
This work focuses on scenarios that require the storage of large amounts of data. Such systems require the ability to either continuously increase the storage space or reclaim spa...
