Special Issue on Active Middleware ServicesThe dramatic increase of internet-based applications and the proliferation of networking technologies has been transforming most areas of computer science and engineering as well as computational science and commercial application areas. This provides an outstanding opportunity to explore new, internet-oriented software technologies that will open new research and application opportunities not only for the multimedia and commercial world, but even for the scientific and high-performance computing applications community.
This special issue will present research results in the areas of active networks, mobile and intelligent agents, software tools for high performance distributed computing, network operating systems, and application programming models and environments to brainstorm and collaborate on defining a framework for the realization of active service-based software applications, development environments, and the required network and runtime support infrastructure.
Topics of Interest:
Specific areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:
- Intelligent networks, agents and scouts. - Programmable and active networks. - Proxies and middleware architecture for deploying remote agents. - Service dissemination and discovery protocols. - Security in active service environments. - Environments and algorithms for the development of scout applications. - Compilation and runtime support for intelligent, adaptive scouts. - Programming paradigms, applications, and requirements for active Grids. - Grids as integral nodes embedded in global active networks.
