An Open Market-Based Architecture for Distributed Computing

One of the challenges in large scale distributed computing is to utilize the thousands of idle personal computers. In this paper, we present a system that enables users to e ortlessly and safely export their machines in a global market of processing capacity. E cient resource allocation is performed based on statistical machine pro les and leases are used to promote dynamic task placement. The ...

QADPZ: An Open System for Distributed Computing

The recent growth of computational power of desktop computers calls for their efficient use in larger organizations, especially those, which need to run computationally intensive tasks, such as universities and research centers. We describe QADPZ [’kwod ”pi: ’si:], a modular, open source implementation in C++ of a multiuser and multi-platform system for idle distributed computing in a TCP/IP ne...

An Architecture to Support an Open Distributed Hypermedia System

Contemporary systems, such as the World Wide Web (WWW), have illustrated how crucial global access to information is to the Internet community. For many, the WWW also serves as an introduction to the concept of hypermedia, demonstrating its potential in providing an integrated and unifying paradigm for information organisation. As demands upon the WWW grew, it became apparent that the simplicit...

An Open Architecture Inspection System

The benefits of open architectures are not currently available for most manufacturing equipment. We describe a testbed for experimenting with an open architecture controller for an inspection system. An initial taxonomy of categories of openness is proposed, culminating in "plug and play," which does not require a software rebuild. The testbed and its constituent components are described with r...
