This workshop provides a forum for an overview, project presentations, and discussion of the research fostered and funded initially by the NSF Next Generation Software (NGS) Progr...
We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
Recent advances in computing and communication have given rise to the computational grid notion. The core of this computing paradigm is the design of a system for drawing compute ...
This paper studies the QoS-aware replica placement problem. Although there has been much work on replica placement problem, most of them concerns average system performance and ign...
The adaptation of software technology to distributed environments is an important challenge today. In this work we combine parallel and distributed search. By this way we add the ...
