For effective components, non-functional aspects must be added to the application functional code. Likewise enterprise middleware and component platforms, in the context of Grids, services must be deployed at execution in the component containers in order to implement those aspects without application code modifications. This paper proposes an...

We propose a grid programming approach using the ProActive middleware. The proposed strategy addresses several grid concerns, which we have classified into three categories. I. Grid Infrastructure which handles the resource acquisition and creation using deployment descriptors and Peer-to-Peer. II. Grid Technical Services which can provide...

While many dream and talk about Service Level Agreement (SLA) and Quality of Service (QoS) for Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), the practical reality of Grid computing is still far from providing effective techniques enabling such contractual agreements. Towards this goal, this paper provides an overview of the techniques offered by...

About ten years after the Java Grande effort, this paper aims at providing a snapshot of the current status of Java for High Performance Computing. Multi-core chips are becoming mainstream, offering many ways for a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to take advantage of such systems for critical tasks such as Just-In-Time compilation or Garbage...
