Network Distributed Computing Using Dcez

This paper introduces a client-server suite called DCEZ (easy distributed computing), which provides a readily configurable and easy to use network distributed computing framework. The suite will allow users to easily operate a distributed computing environment and solve real problems with a hybrid peer–to-peer (P2P) grid. It is anticipated that this tool will be most useful in a pedagogical setting such as an introductory computing course or as an adjunct to a computationally intensive course that addresses parallel computing issues.
