Accent: A Communication Oriented Network Operating System Kernel

by Richard F. Rashid, George G. Robertson - In Proc. 8th Symposium on Operating Systems Principles , 1981
"... Accent is a communication oriented operating system kernel being built at Carnegie-Mellon University to support the distributed personal computing project, Spice, and the development of a fault-tolerant distributed sensor network (DSN). Accent is. built around a single, powerful abstraction of commu ..."

"... ABSTRACT This article aims at proposing some elements for a grounded theor y of the network society. The network society is the social structure characteristic of the Information Age, as tentatively identi ed by empirical, cross-cultural investigation. It permeates most societies in the world, in v ..."

Within the limits of tentative elaboration, this exercise intends to open the way for a theoretically meaningful codi

A resource discovery architecture of loosely coupled grid inter-cooperated Virtual Organisations using mobile agents and neural networks

by Stelios Sotiriadis, Nik Bessis, Paul Sant, Carsten Maple
"... Abstract – Grid computing offers a service for sharing resources over uncertain and complex environments. In such multi-participated settings it is essential to make the grid middleware functionality transparent to members by providing the ability to act autonomous and learning from the environment. ..."
