to form networked virtual supercomputers or metacomputers. While the physical infrastructure to build such systems is becoming widespread, the heterogeneous and dynamic nature of the metacomputing environment poses new challenges for developers of system software, parallel tools, and applications
Dynamically Forecasting Network Performance Using the Network Weather Service
, 1998
"... this paper, we outline its design and detail the predictive performance of the forecasts it generates. While the forecasting methods are general, we focus on their ability to predict the TCP/IP end-to-end throughput and latency that is attainable by an application using systems located at different ..."

sites. Such network forecasts are needed both to support scheduling [5], and by the metacomputing software infrastructure to develop quality-of-service guarantees [10, 17]. Keywords: scheduling, metacomputing, quality-of-service, statistical forecasting, network performance monitoring
An Overview of Workflow Management: From Process Modeling to Workflow Automation Infrastructure
- DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL DATABASES
, 1995
"... Today’s business enterprises must deal with global competition, reduce the cost of doing business, and rapidly develop new services and products. To address these requirements enterprises must constantly reconsider and optimize the way they do business and change their information systems and appl ..."

This paper provides a high-level overview of the current workflow management methodologies and software products. In addition, we discuss the infrastructure technologies that can address the limitations of current
The Player/Stage Project: Tools for Multi-Robot and Distributed Sensor Systems
- In Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Advanced Robotics
, 2003
"... This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network transparent robot control. Player seeks to constrain controller design as little as possible; it is device independent, non ..."

A Scalable Content-Addressable Network
- IN PROC. ACM SIGCOMM 2001
, 2001
"... Hash tables – which map “keys ” onto “values” – are an essential building block in modern software systems. We believe a similar functionality would be equally valuable to large distributed systems. In this paper, we introduce the concept of a Content-Addressable Network (CAN) as a distributed infra ..."

Dynamo: amazon’s highly available key-value store
- IN PROC. SOSP
, 2007
"... Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites ..."

Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing
, 2001
"... Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations. In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."
