The Globus Toolkit (GT) has been developed since the late 1990s to support the development of service-oriented distributed computing applications and infrastructures. Core GT compo...
Abstract--The size, heterogeneity and dynamism of the execution platforms of scientific applications, like computational grids, make using those platforms complex. Furthermore, tod...
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
Grids are facing the challenge of seamless integration of the grid power into everyday use. One critical component for this integration is responsiveness, the capacity to support o...
The need to conduct and manage large sets of experiments for scientific applications dramatically increased over the last decade. However, there is still very little tool support ...
