But if LIS is not an interdiscipline, is it then a meta-, a transa pluri-, a multior simply a discipline? The different proposals for qualifying the nature of LIS or for delineating its frontiers sugges...

In this paper, we compare the two research fields of grid computing and autonomous decentralized systems (ADS). We point out that these two fields are closely related at the basic research level, and have a lot to offer each other. A grid computing system can be viewed as an autonomous decentralized system in many aspects, and as such, it needs inputs from the ADS research community. At the sam...
