With the advent of Grid computing, more and more highend computational resources become available for use to a scientist. While this opens up new avenues for scientific research,...
The layered architecture of middleware platforms (such as CORBA, SOAP, J2EE) is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, layers provide services such as demarshaling, session management...
This paper describes a research project about robot control across a computing Grid, first step toward a Grid solution for generic process control. A computational Grid can signi...
In recent years, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) is gaining momentum with more and more successful adoptions. Several companies including some well known names have embraced this new...
This paper presents SafeStore, a distributed storage system designed to maintain long-term data durability despite conventional hardware and software faults, environmental disrupt...
