We investigate the use of a thin-client based configuration in providing students with universal access to a centralized, graphical computing environment. The primary goal is to ...
The aim of P2P computing is to build virtual computing systems dedicated to large-scale computational problems. JXTA1 proposes an underlying infrastructure on which JNGI2 , one of...
Spatial abstractions promise to be basic necessary ingredients for a novel “spatial computing” approach to distributed systems development and management, suitable to tackle th...
Amorphous computing considers the problem of controlling millions of spatially distributed unreliable devices which communicate only with nearby neighbors. To program such a system...
One of the challenges in large scale distributed computing is to utilize the thousands of idle personal computers. In this paper, we present a system that enables users to e ortles...
