Parallel visualization is assuming an increasing role in the deployment of Web and Grid based systems for scientific applications. The visualization process consists of a set of filters or components that are executed in a pipelined assembly that should be adaptively configured on the basis of user requirements, processing architecture and...

Mobile hosts of ad-hoc networks operate on battery, hence optimization of system lifetime, intended as maximization of the time until the first host drains-out its battery, is an important issue. Some routing algorithms have already been proposed, that require the knowledge of the future behavior of the system, and/or complex routing...

In this paper we discuss the issues related to the development of efficient parallel implementations of the Marching Cubes algorithm, one of the most used methods for isosurface extraction, which is a fundamental operation for 3D data analysis and visualization. We present three possible parallelization strategies and we outline the pros and...

The latest Globus Toolkit 4 (GT4) version, fully OGSA compliant and almost completely based on Grid Services, is expected to become the reference version of the Globus Toolkit. Therefore, the necessity to migrate from previous versions, especially the widespread GT2, to GT4 is becoming a relevant issue for many Grid systems. We present a...
