The Globus Toolkit is properly configured open source software for setting up grid nodes across multiple heterogeneous platforms. The process of grid enabling a machine is a long ...
The literature on programming sensor networks has focused so far on g higher-level abstractions for expressing local node behavior. Kairos is a natural next step in sensor network ...
Clusters of networked, off-the-shelf workstations are currently used for computationintensive, parallel applications. However, it is hardly possible to predict the timing behaviou...
Developing a distributed application for mobile resource constrained devices is a difficult and error-prone task that requires awareness of several system-level details (e.g., faul...
At a fundamental level, the key challenge in data integration is to reconcile the semantics of disparate data sets, each expressed with a different database structure. I argue th...
