: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
An important problem that confronts data grid applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data replica. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Replica Loca...
Broadcasting is a commonly used communication primitive needed by many applications and protocols in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Unfortunately, most broadcast solutions are ta...
Abstract. We study in this paper several scheduling heuristics for GridRPC middlewares. When dealing with performance issue, the scheduling strategy is one of the most important fe...
Background: Since experimental determination of protein folding pathways remains difficult, computational techniques are often used to simulate protein folding. Most current techn...
