Abstract— In order to efficiently use Grid resources, users or middlewares must use some network information, and in particular some knowledge of the platform network. As such kn...
Scientific workflows are a powerful programming technique for specifying complex computations using a number of otherwise independent components. When used in a Grid environment, ...
We present our experience of building a prototype system based on the Utility Model for adaptive multimedia. The Utility Model is proposed to capture the issues and dynamics in mul...
