Grid Technologies : Emerging from Distributed Architectures to Virtual Organizations
Category General
Product Description
Current Grid enabling technologies consist of stand-alone architectures. A typical architecture provides middleware access to various services at different hierarchical levels. Computational Grids enable the sharing, selection and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computation resources (such as supercomputers, clusters of computers, storage systems, data sources, instruments, people etc.) and present them as a single, unified resource for solving large-scale computations and data intensive computing applications (e.g. engineering problems, molecular modelling for drug design, brain activity analysis, high energy physics, etc.) Grid Computing is a newly emerging research area, which … More >>

From P2P and Grids to Services on the Web: Evolving Distributed Communities
Product Description
Internet usage has evolved from a predominately client/server-based Web server interaction to additionally involving the use of more decentralized applications – through which users contribute more equally in the role of the application as a whole – and still further to distributed communities based around the Web. This broad-ranging new edition of a classic textbook/reference provides a comprehensive overview of emerging distributed-systems technologies and has been significantly enhanced and extended to cover the many new, state-of-the-art infrastructures and technologies that have since appeared. The focus is also broadened, retaining the technical aspects, but additionally including useful historical con… More >>

Security in Distributed, Grid, Mobile, and Pervasive Computing
Category General
Product Description
Despite recent dramatic advances in computer security regarding the proliferation of services and applications, security threats are still major impediments in the deployment of these services. Paying serious attention to these issues, Security in Distributed, Grid, Mobile, and Pervasive Computing focuses on the increasing demand to guarantee privacy, integrity, and availability of resources in networks and distributed systems.
A rich and useful presentation of strategies for security issues, the book covers each computing area in separate sections. It first reviews security issues and challenges in content distribution networks, describes key agreement protocols based on the Diffie-Hellman key exchange … More >>
