— This paper considers a formal object-oriented model for distributed computing. Object orientation appears as a leading framework for concurrent and distributed systems. However...
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...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at the different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is impor...
Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Coming up with a plan for a team that operates in a non-deterministic environment is a complex process, and the problem is further complicated by the need for team members to comm...
