Multi-tiered distributed computing platform

چکیده
A simple programmable Java platform-independent distributed computation system has been developed to exploit the free resources on computers linked together by a network. It is a multi-tiered distributed system model, which is unbounded in principal. The system consists of an n-ary tree of nodes where the internal nodes perform the scheduling and the leaves do the processing. The scheduler nodes communicate in a peer-to-peer manner and the processing nodes operate in a strictly client-server manner with their respective scheduler. The independent schedulers on each tier dynamically allocate resources between jobs based on the constantly changing characteristics of the underlying network. The system has been evaluated over a network of 90 PCs with a bioinformatics application.

Building the Presentation-Tier of Rich Web Applications with Hierarchical Components
Nowadays information systems are increasingly distributed and deployed within the Internet platform. Without any doubt, the World Wide Web represents the de facto standard platform for hosting such distributed systems. The use of a multi-tiered architecture to develop such systems is often the best design decision to reach scalability, maintainability and reliability quality goals. Software in ...

This paper describes the design of the Bus Timetabling System (BTS) we have developed for one of the largest privately held bus companies in the world. This Bus Company operates close to 3,500 buses and employs over 7,500 bus drivers. The BTS generates a timetable for each bus route using “distributed constraint-based search” (DCBS). The DCBS algorithm combines techniques of constraint programm...

Nowadays, many e-Commerce tools support customers with automatic recommendations. Many of them are centralized and lack in ef ciency and scalability, while other ones are distributed and require a computational overhead excessive for many devices. Moreover, all the past proposals are not open and do not allow new personalized terms to be introduced into the domain ontology. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملMulti-Tier Communication Abstractions for Distributed Mult-Agent Systems
Most Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures use a single communication model for sharing of data, propagation of tasking, and negotiation for services. We describe the Cougaar distributed multi-tiered MAS infrastructure which uses different communication techniques at each tier to gain large-scale parallelization, scalability and asynchronous operation without sacrificing the ability to support...
متن کاملLocal Grid Scheduling Techniques using Performance Prediction
The use of computational grids to provide an integrated computer platform, composed of differentiated and distributed systems, presents fundamental resource and workload management questions. Key services such as resource discovery, monitoring and scheduling are inherently more complicated in a grid environment where the resource pool is large, dynamic and architecturally diverse. In this resea...
