This paper examines the problem of building scalable, fault-tolerant distributed systems from collections of communicating process groups, while maintaining well-defined end-to-en...
For data analysis or simulations (e.g. in particle physics) single users submit hundreds or thousands of jobs to the Grid. This puts a new burden on the users side - keeping an ov...
We consider networks of workstations which are not only timesharing, but also heterogeneous with a large variation in the computing power and memory capacities of different workst...
Component-based software development is a promising way to improve quality, time to market and handle the increasing complexity of software for real-time systems. In this paper th...
How to coordinate the processes in a complex component-based software system is a nontrivial issue. Many different coordination approaches exist, each with its own specific advanta...
