✦ Synopsis

CORBA (common object request broker architecture) provides a conceptual software bus for distributed object systems, which is not only suitable for enterprise distributed computing, but also suitable for parallel distributed scientific computations. This paper describes a distributed computing system, named PCB (parallel component bus), based on a cluster of computers with the JavaÂCORBA technologies. The architecture of the system supports scalability in either SPMD or MIMD models. The measured performance of a parallel computation shows that the system can reach N-fold speedup for large grain applications.

The main objective of this study is to transform a network of workstations into a load balanced distributed computing system (LBDCS). LBDCS is to improve the performance of generally underutilized timeshared workstations and highly CPU intensive independent or parallel applications. It affects the i

We develop a framework that helps in understanding a faulttolerant distributed system and so aids in designing such systems. We illustrate the uses of the developed work in application areas such as checkpointing and recovery, phase termination detection, stable property detection, implementing memb

This paper presents a layered verification technique, called LVT, for the verification of distributed computing systems with multiple component layers. Each lower layer in such a system provides services in support of functionality of the higher layer. By taking a very general view of programming la
