This paper presents a novel architecture called the MetaGrid based on Grid computing concepts for resource provisioning for wide-area network-enabled applications. Resource provis...
Several recent proposals for an “active networks” architecture advocate the placement of user-defined computation within the network as a key mechanism to enable a wide range...
An incremental development framework which supports a conform construction of Protocol State Machines (PSMs) is presented. We capture design concepts and strategies of PSM constru...
Abstract. Next-generation Grids will require flexible and adaptive network infrastructures that would be able to provide the requisite quality of service for computational flows....
The widespread adoption of location-based services (LBS) raises increasing concerns for the protection of personal location information. A common strategy, referred to as obfuscati...
