Special Issue: Adaptive Grid Middleware

Special Issue: Adaptive Grid Middleware

Grid computing research focuses on building large-scale computing infrastructures by linking computing facilities at many distributed locations. Significant effort has been spent in the design and implementation of middleware for enabling computational Grids. These software packages have been successfully deployed and it is now possible to build clusters beyond the boundaries of a single local ...

Special Issue: Middleware for Grid Computing

We are pleased to present a special issue of best papers presented at the 4th International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing (MGC 2006), which was held in conjunction with the ACM/IFIP/USENIX 7th International Middleware Conference during November 2006 in Melbourne, Australia. The goal of the fourth edition of the MGC workshop was to bring together researches in the field of middleware...

Special Issue: Middleware for Grid Computing: A 'Possible Future'

The papers in this special issue paint a representative picture of current research issues in Grid computing, in the form of a selection of papers from the Third International Workshop on Middleware for Grid Computing (MGC) [1]. All of the papers have been extended and thoroughly revised from the original workshop versions. Previous special issues on selected papers of [2] and [3] have been pub...

Special Issue: Progress of the Knowledge Grid

This special issue contains five papers [1–5] reflecting the progress of the Knowledge Grid [6]. Most of them were selected from the First International Conference on Semantics, Knowledge and Grid (SKG2005; http://www.knowledgegrid.net), which is currently the unique forum crossing the areas of knowledge sharing, semantic networking and Grid computing. The first paper [1] proposes a distributed...
