Abstract. The heterogeneous and unreliable nature of distributed systems has created a distinct need for the inclusion of provenance within their design to allow for error correcti...
Hierarchical software components offer interesting characteristics for the development of complex applications. However, supporting the deployment of such applications is difficult...
Partitioning data parallel computations across a network of heterogeneous workstations is a dificult problem for the user: We have developed a runtime partitioning methodfor choos...
We propose a parallel and distributed component framework for building Grid applications, adapted to the hierarchical, highly distributed, highly heterogeneous nature of Grids. Thi...
Many scientific applications need to stage large volumes of files from one set of machines to another set of machines in a wide-area network. Efficient execution of such data t...
