Performance prediction is set to play a significant role in supportive middleware that is
designed to manage workload on parallel and distributed computing systems. This …

Divide-and-conquer is a well-suited programming paradigm for parallel Grid applications.
Our Satin system efficiently schedules the fine-grained tasks of a divide-andconquer …

This paper reports on an ongoing research project aimed at designing and deploying a
Common Object Resource Broker Architecture (CORBA)(ww. omg. org) Commodity Grid …

The GridRPC model (Nakada et al., 2003) is an emerging standard promoted by the Global
Grid Forum (GGF) that defines how to perform remote client-server computation on a …

In this paper we discuss the use of Grid services, an emerging Internet-based technology, to
enable the application of numerical optimisation algorithms in heterogeneous, distributed …

Grids comprise an infrastructure that enables scientists to use a diverse set of distributed
remote services and resources as part of complex scientific problem-solving processes. We …

In this report we develop a view of the Grid based on the application service provider (ASP)
model. This view enables the user to see the Grid as a collection of application services that …

The paper presents the SmartGridRPC model, an extension of the GridRPC model, which
aims to achieve higher performance. The traditional GridRPC provides a programming …

A major challenge facing grid applications is the appropriate handling of failures. In this
paper we address the problem of making parallel Java applications based on Remote …

Managing resources and distributed workload across multiple administrative boundaries is a
key issue in grid computing and middleware research. Standard services that perform look …
