Utility computing is becoming a popular way of exploiting the potential of computational grids. In utility computing, users are provided with computational power in a transparent ...
Abstract. As grid sizes increase, the need for self-organization and dynamic reconfigurations is becoming more and more important, and therefore the convergence of grid computing ...
In this paper, we survey three generation of reflective middleware research carried out at Lancaster University, present experiences gained from this research, and highlight a num...
We present a general Multi-Agent System framework for distributed data mining based on a Peer-toPeer model. The framework adopts message-based asynchronous communication and a dyn...
For a grid middleware to perform resource allocation, prediction models are needed, which can determine how long an application will take for completion on a particular platform o...
