It is customary to use the same term to describe the images of degree zero divisors...

Research Statement for Henri Casanova

Advances in networking technology have made it possible to deploy distributed scientific applications on platforms that aggregate large numbers of diverse and distant resources. This distributed computing vision, recently popularized as “grid computing”, holds the promise of application executions at unprecedented scale, capacity, and performance. My research interests spans several theoretical...
