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

components which deal with these conditions, so code sharing becomes impractical. In this paper we also describe our architecture, Quality of Service for CORBA Objects (QuO), which we have developed to overcome these limitations and integrate their solution by providing QoS abstractions to CORBA objects

The paradigmatic shift from a Web of manual interactions to a Web of programmatic interactions driven by Web services is creating unprecedented opportunities for the formation of online Business-to-Business (B2B) collaborations. In particular, the creation of value-added services by composition

To comprehend the results of a randomized, controlled trial (RCT), readers must understand its design, conduct, analysis, and inter-pretation. That goal can be achieved only through complete trans-parency from authors. Despite several decades of educational ef-forts, the reporting of RCTs needs

We propose a new design for highly concurrent Internet services, whichwe call the staged event-driven architecture (SEDA). SEDA is intended

This paper presents SIENA, an event notification service that we have designed and implemented to exhibit both expressiveness and scalability. We describe the service's interface to applications, the algorithms used by networks of servers to select and deliver event notifications

Unless their developers take security into account at design time, sensor networks and the protocols they depend on will remain vulnerable to denial of service attacks. We identify denial of service weaknesses and solutions for sensor network devices and analyze two network protocols.
