Abstract— We propose a method for wide-area message passing systems to perform collective operations using dynamically created spanning trees. In our proposal, broadcasts and red...
Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...
Constructing logical machines out of collections of physical machines is a well-known technique for improving the robustness and fault tolerance of distributed systems. We present...

We investigate the management of flocking mobile objects using a parallel message-passing computer cluster. An octree, a data structure well-known for use in managing a 3D space, ...
Object orientation and component-based development have both proven useful for the elaboration of open distributed systems. These paradigms are offered by the Creol language. Creo...
