The use of web services as the basis for grid middleware has allowed scientists to wrap legacy applications as services in order to provide their capabilities to grid users. Howev...
With the properties of autonomy, social ability, reactivity and pro-activeness, agents can be used to represent entities in distributed simulations, where fast and accurate decisi...
The efficiency of service discovery is critical in the development of fully decentralized middleware intended to manage large scale computational grids. This demand influenced t...
The ability to record and account for the usage of computational resources in a standardised way across different systems from multiple administrative domains is a precursor to wi...
Abstract— This work presents an infrastructure that simplifies the development of distributed applications that can adapt automatically to nonfunctional properties of their comp...
