This paper presents a service-based grid computing model which emphasizes that a grid is a special computing system. By comparing this model with the traditional computing system ...
tail defines the level of abstraction used to implement the model's components. A highly detailed model will faithfully simulate all aspects of machine operation, whether or n...
An exceedingly large number of scientific and engineering fields are confronted with the need for computer simulations to study complex, real world phenomena or solve challenging ...
