The resource management system is the central component of distributed network
computing systems. There have been many projects focused on network computing that …

Presents a distributed discovery method allowing individual nodes to gather information
about resources in a wide-area distributed system made up of autonomous systems linked …

The term workflow means the coordinated execution of multiple tasks or activities. Handling
a loan application, an insurance claim, or an application for a passport follow well …

The simulation and modeling of complex physical systems often involves many components
because (i) the physical system itself has components of differing natures,(ii) parallel …

The process of prototy** is part of every scientific inquiry, product design, and learning
activity. The new economic realities require the rapid prototy** of manufactured artifacts …

In this paper we present the basic design philosophy of the Bond agent system, the multi-
plane agent model and the component-based architecture implementing the model. We …

The simulation of complex physical systems often involves solving a large system of partial
differential equations (PDEs). We discuss how solving such a system of PDEs can be done …

In this paper we discuss the architecture of an agentbased workflow management system
built around the Bond agent framework. We address the problem of map** a workflow …

Mit der zunehmenden Vernetzung vor allem durch das Internet entsteht eine
Computerinfrastruktur, die neue Möglichkeiten zur Gestaltung von Dienstplattformen mit sich …

We argue that mutable programs are an important class of future applications. The field of
software agents is an important beneficiary of mutability We evaluate existing mutable …
