Grid technologies enable the sharing of a wide variety of distributed resources. To utilize these resources, effective Resource Management systems are needed. Resource Management s...
Information integration applications, such as mediators or mashups, that require access to information resources currently rely on users manually discovering and integrating them ...
One of the main strengths of the web is that it allows any party of its global community to share information with any other party. This goal has been achieved by making use of a u...
Desktop Grids have proved to be a suitable platform for the execution of Bag-of-Tasks applications but, being characterized by a high resource volatility, require the availability ...

We deal with temporal aspects of distributed systems, introducing and studying a new model called timed distributed -calculus. This model extends distributed -calculus with timers...
Accounting for the CPU consumption of applications is crucial for software development to detect and remove performance bottlenecks (profiling) and to evaluate the performance of ...
The present work falls in the line of activities promoted by the European Languguage Resource Association (ELRA) Production Committee (PCom) and raises issues in methods, procedur...
When users' tasks in a distributed heterogeneous computing environment (e.g., cluster of heterogeneous computers) are allocated resources, the total demand placed on some sys...

Traditional resource management techniques (resource allocation, admission control and scheduling) have been found to be inadequate for many shared Grid and distributed systems th...
This paper deals with the performance optimization of multiple-task applications in GRID environments. Typically such applications are launched by a Resource Manager, which only t...
