In the beginning of the twenty-first century, large unsolved combinatorial optimization
problems have been solved exactly. Two impressive cases should be mentioned. First are …

Discusses seven undesirable features that are common to many programming languages
used to teach first-time programmers:(1) less is more;(2) more is more;(3) grammatical …

Grid, a form of parallel and distributed computing, allows the sharing of data and
computational resources among its users from various geographical locations. The grid …

A very large number of scientific and engineering fields are confronted with the need for
computer simulations to study complex, real world phenomena or solve challenging design …

This short paper summarizes a set of 28 papers gathered together by the GCE (Grid
Computing Environment) group of the Global Grid Forum. This set is published in 2002 as a …

One benefit of a computational Grid is the ability to run high‐performance applications over
distributed resources simply and securely. We demonstrated this benefit with an experiment …

Over the last few years, personal communication devices have invaded most developed
countries and today, the majority of the population owns a mobile phone and most people …

We describe the design and implementation of MOCCA, a distributed CCA framework
implemented using the H2O metacomputing system. Motivated by the quest for appropriate …

Grids are collections of interconnected resources harnessed to satisfy various needs of
users. Legion and Globus are pioneering grid technologies. Several of the aims and goals of …

Legion was the first integrated grid middleware architected from first principles to address
the complexity of grid environments. Just as a traditional operating system provides an …
