Several recent proposals for an “active networks” architecture advocate the placement of user-defined computation within the network as a key mechanism to enable a wide range...
Discrete-event packet-level network simulation is well-known and widely used. Network emulation is a hybrid approach that combines real elements of a deployed networked applicatio...
Embedded Peer-to-Peer Systems (EP2P) represent a new challenge in the development of software for distributed systems. The main objective of the SMEPP (Secure Middleware for Embed...
Grid technologies are emerging as the next generation of distributed computing, allowing the aggregation of resources that are geographically distributed across different location...
Middleware is often built using a layered architectural style. Layered design provides good separation of the different concerns of middleware, such as communication, marshaling, ...
