User-Transparent Scheduling for Software Components on the Grid

Grid applications are increasingly being developed as workflows using well-structured, reusable components. We argue that components with well-defined semantics facilitate an efficient scheduling on the Grid. We have previously developed a user-transparent scheduling approach for Higher-Order Components (HOCs) – parallel implementations of typical programming patterns, accessible and customizab...

Problem Solving Environment for Distributed Interactive Applications

Interactive Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) offer an integrated approach for constructing and running complex systems, such as distributed simulation systems. To achieve efficient execution of High Level Architecture (HLA)-based distributed interactive simulations on the Grid, we introduce a PSE called Grid HLA Management System (G-HLAM) for their management. This is done by introducing mig...

Peer-To-Peer Techniques for Data Distribution in Desktop Grid Computing Platforms

In this paper, we discuss how Peer-to-Peer data distribution techniques can be adapted to Dekktop Grid computing environments, particularly to the BOINC platform. To date, Desktop Grid systems have focused primarily on utilizing spare CPU cycles, yet have neglected to take advantage of client network capabilities. Leveraging client bandwidth will not only benefit current projects by lowering th...

Extending GWorkflowDL: a Multi-Purpose Language for Workflow Enactment

Scientific workflows are becoming increasingly important as a vehicle for enabling science at a large scale. Lately, many Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) have been introduced in order to support the needs of several scientific fields, such as bioinformatics and cheminformatics. However, no platform is practically capable to address the computational power and storage capacity provided by pr...
