Scientific workflows are a powerful programming technique for specifying complex computations using a number of otherwise independent components. When used in a Grid environment, ...
The paper presents a Java-based object-oriented system that offers a layered infrastructure to create the adequate framework for complex interactions between Grid components (e.g....
We introduce the Symphony framework, a software ion layer that can sit on top of grid systems. Symphony provides a unified API for grid application developers and offers a graphic...
This paper describes SOPA, a component framework that is an essential part of the lecture recording system E-Chalk. It envisages a general processing and streaming architecture fe...
Many distributed applications can be understood in terms of components interacting in an open environment such as the Internet. Open environments are subject to change in unpredic...
