Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
In contrast to a large body of theoretical work on computer systems, distributed systems are not idealised constructions, unconstrained by physical world limitations. They must be...
The efficient management of complex objects has become an enabling technology for modern multimedia information systems as well as for many novel database applications. Unfortunat...

We propose a programming model for distributed concurrent systems with mobile objects in the context of a process calculus. Code mobility is induced by lexical scoping on names. O...
Abstract. Distributed computing is a means to overcome the limitations of single computing systems. In this paper we describe how clusters of heterogeneous supercomputers can be us...
