“Grid” computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional
distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications …

Internet hosting centers serve multiple service sites from a common hardware base. This
paper presents the design and implementation of an architecture for resource management …

State-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access to large quantities of
data and commensurately fast computational resources. Both resources and data are oflen …

General-purpose operating systems provide inadequate support for resource management
in large-scale servers. Applications lack sufficient control over scheduling and management …

Metacomputing systems are intended to support remote and/or concurrent use of
geographically distributed computational resources. Resource management in such …

The Globus project is a multi-institutional research effort that seeks to enable the
construction of computational grids providing pervasive, dependable, and consistent access …

(57) ABSTRACT A system and method for providing a Zone-based user inter face (UI) on a
mobile device are provided. The method includes defining usage Zones and associating at …

Application development for distributed-computing “Grids” can benefit from tools that
variously hide or enable application-level management of critical aspects of the …

In this introductory chapter, we lay the groundwork for the rest of the book by providing a
more detailed picture of the expected purpose, shape, and architecture of future grid …

We argue that the needs of many classes of modern applications, especially those targeted
at mobile or wireless computing, demand the services of content-based publish/subscribe …
