In recent years, grid technology has emerged as an important tool for solving compute‐
intensive problems within the scientific community and in industry. To further the …

Provenance, ie, the origin or source of something, is becoming an important concern, since it
offers the means to verify data products, to infer their quality, to analyse the processes that …

With ever growing use of Internet, Web services become increasingly popular and their
growth rate surpasses even the most optimistic predictions. Services are self-descriptive, self …

We identify parameters impacting Web services dependability, describe the methods of
dependability enhancement by redundancy in space and redundancy in time, and perform a …

Scheduling tasks on large-scale computational grids is difficult due to the heterogeneous
computational capabilities of the resources, node unavailability and unreliable network …

A new 3D digital art and an immersive VR display system are presented. A 3D drawing
interface and a real time object modeling, which is using auto 3D strokes, are implemented …

One of the latest achievements of the Internet usage is the availability of Web services
technology. Web services provide an efficient and convenient way for service provisioning …

The onset of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) in domains like trading and banking has
considerably heightened the need for dependable system operation. Late binding to …

This paper proposes GridTS, a grid infrastructure in which the resources select the tasks
they execute, instead of a scheduler finding resources for the tasks. This solution allows …

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) requires fault-tolerant implementation because the
heterogeneous nature of services is likely to cause faults and failures. Focusing on the …
