The notion of fixed-parameter approximation is introduced to investigate the approximability of optimization problems within the framework of fixed-parameter computation. This work...
While distributed, heterogeneous collections of computers (“Grids”) can in principle be used as a computing platform, in practice the problems of first discovering and then co...

This paper describes the high-level execution and communication support provided in JGrid, a serviceoriented dynamic grid framework. One of its core services, the Compute Service,...
Grid computing aims to connect large numbers of geographically and organizationally distributed resources to increase computational power, resource utilization, and resource acces...
For almost a decade we have been working at developing and using template-based models for coarse-grained parallel computing. Our initial system, FrameWorks, was positively receiv...
