In this paper we consider server farms with a setup cost. This model is common in manufacturing systems and data centers, where there is a cost to turn servers on. Setup costs alw...
Large distributed systems such as Computational Grids require a large amount of monitoring data be collected for a variety of tasks such as fault detection, performance analysis, ...

We have developed a theory of sharing which captures the behaviour of programs with respect to shared data into the framework of process algebra. The core theory can describe prog...
The grid security architecture today does not prevent certain unauthorized access to the files associated with a job executing on a remote machine. Programs and data are transferre...
Java supports heterogeneous applications by transforming a heterogeneous network of machines into a homogeneous network of Java virtual machines. This abstracts over many of the c...
