Computational Grids, emerging as an infrastructure for next generation computing, enable
the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed resources for solving …

While large grids are currently supporting the work of thousands of scientists, very little is
known about their actual use. Due to strict organizational permissions, there are few or no …

In this paper we describe our TRECVID 2009 video re-trieval experiments. The MediaMill
team participated in three tasks: concept detection, automatic search, and in-teractive …

Computational Grids are a promising platform for executing large-scale resource intensive
applications. However, resource management and scheduling in the Grid environment is a …

Grid computing has been the subject of many large national and international IT projects.
However, not all goals of these projects have been achieved. In particular, the number of …

This paper presents the semantic pathfinder architecture for generic indexing of multimedia
archives. The semantic pathfinder extracts semantic concepts from video by exploring …

In this paper, we present a macroscopic-characterization of agent-based load balancing in
homogeneous minigrid environments. The agent-based load balancing is regarded as …

This paper describes WOW, a distributed system that combines virtual machine, overlay
networking and peer-to-peer techniques to create scalable wide-area networks of virtual …

To improve the scalability of the Web, it is common practice to apply caching and replication
techniques. Numerous strategies for placing and maintaining multiple copies of Web …

A Monte Carlo code for the calculation of light transport in heterogeneous scattering media
is presented together with its validation. Triangle meshes are used to define the interfaces …
