An Ontology-Driven Approach to Reflective Middleware

Recent work in the field of middleware technology proposes semantic spaces as a tool for coping with the scalability, heterogeneity and dynamism issues arising in large scale distributed environments. Reflective middleware moreover offers answers to the needs for adaptivity and self-determination of systems where mobility and ubiquity add to such...

An Extension of the TCP Steady-State Throughput Equation for Parallel TCP Flows

Almost a decade after its publication in, the steady-state throughput equation of TCP by Padhye et al. remains the most widely used method for calculating the throughput that a TCP sender obtains under certain environment conditions. While there is now a wealth of other models available, many of which are...

Short Paper: Data Mining-Based Fault Prediction and Detection on the Grid

This paper describes a novel approach to fault detection and prediction on the Grid based on data mining techniques. Data mining techniques are here applied as a mean to effectively process the significant amount of captured data from Grid sites, services, workflows and activities. The paper provides a first approach...

The dance of three atoms

Physicists from Austria and in the U.S. have built a system of three atoms of cesium leading to a new state of matter. In their experiments, two of these atoms couldn't even be assembled as pairs because of their weak attraction. But by adding a third atom, they formed a...

A roundtrip to Mars in one day?

According to ideas developed in the 1950s, it should be possible to build an 'hyperspace' engine allowing a spacecraft to reach Mars in 3 hours. It would also allow us to travel to stars more that 10 light years away in 80 days by slipping into a different dimension. But...
