Global public computing platforms, such as PlanetLab, grid computing systems, and XenoServers, require facilities for managing trust to allow their participants to interact effect...
Consider a distributed system N in which each agent has an input value and each communication link has a weight. Given a global function, that is, a function f whose value depends...
We introduce a foundational language for modelling applications over global computers whose interconnection structure can be explicitly manipulated. Together with process distribut...
Javelin is a Java-based infrastructure for global computing. This paper presents Javelin++, an extension of Javelin, intended to support a much larger set of computational hosts. ...
