DAPSY (Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems) is an international conference series with biannual events dedicated to all aspects of distributed and parallel computing. DAPSY started under a different name in 1992 (Sopron, Hungary) as regional meeting of Austrian and Hungarian researchers focusing on transputer-related parallel computing; a hot research topic of that time. A second workshop followed in 1994 (Budapest, Hungary). As transputers became history, the scope of the workshop widened to include parallel and distributed systems in general and the 1st DAPSYS in 1996 (Miskolc, Hungary) reflected the results of these changes.Distributed and Parallel Systems: Cluster and Grid Computing is an edited volume based on DAPSYS, 2004, the 5th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems. The workshop was held in conjunction with EuroPVM/MPI-2004, Budapest, Hungary September 19-22, 2004.

Distributed and Parallel Systems: From Cluster to Grid Computing is an edited volume based on DAPSYS 2006, the 6th Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems, which is dedicated to all aspects of distributed and parallel computing. The workshop was held in conjunction with the 2nd Austrian Grid Symposium in Innsbruck, Austria in September 2006.Distributed and Parallel Systems: From Cluster to Grid Computing is designed for a professional audience composed of practitioners and researchers in industry. This book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.

DAPSYS (International Conference on Distributed and Parallel Systems) is an international biannual conference series dedicated to all aspects of distributed and parallel computing. DAPSYS 2008, the 7th International Conference on Distributed and Parallel Systems was held in September 2008 in Hungary.Distributed and Parallel Systems: Desktop Grid Computing, based on DAPSYS 2008, presents original research, novel concepts and methods, and outstanding results. Contributors investigate parallel and distributed techniques, algorithms, models and applications; present innovative software tools, environments and middleware; focus on various aspects of grid computing; and introduce novel methods for development, deployment, testing and evaluation. This volume features a special focus on desktop grid computing as well.Designed for a professional audience composed of practitioners and researchers in industry, this book is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.

This volume contains 18 full papers and 12 short papers from 14 countries around the world, including Japan, Korea and Brazil. The paper sessions cover a broad range of research topics in the area of parallel and distributed systems, including software development environments, performance evaluation, architectures, languages, algorithms, web and cluster computing.

This is the proceedings of the fourth Austrian-Hungarian Workshop on Distributed and Parallel Systems organized jointly by Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria and the MTA SZTAKI Computer and Automation Research Institute. The papers in this volume cover a broad range of research topics presented in four groups. The first one introduces cluster tools and techniques, especially the issues of load balancing and migration. Another six papers deal with grid and global computing including grid infrastructure, tools, applications and mobile computing. The next nine papers present general questions of distributed development and applications. The last four papers address a crucial issue in distributed computing: fault tolerance and dependable systems. This volume should be useful to researchers and scholars interested in all areas related to parallel and distributed computing systems.

The book describes the science gateway building technology developed in the SCI-BUS European project and its adoption and customization method, by which user communities, such as biologists, chemists, and astrophysicists, can build customized, domain-specific science gateways. Many aspects of the core technology are explained in detail, including its workflow capability, job submission mechanism to various grids and clouds, and its data transfer mechanisms among several distributed infrastructures.The book will be useful for scientific researchers and IT professionals engaged in the development of science gateways.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th European PVM/MPI users' Group Meeting held in Budapest, Hungary, in September 2004. The 50 revised papers presented together with abstracts of 10 invited contributions were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on MPI/PVM extensions and improvements, algorithms, applications, tools and environments, cluster and grid computing, performance, and parallel numerical simulation.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th European PVM/MPI Users' Group Meeting held in Balatonfured, Hungary in September 2000. The 35 revised papers and seven posters presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The book offers topical sections on evaluation and performance, algorithms, extensions and improvements, implementation, heterogenous distributed systems, tools, and applications in science and engineering. All current aspects of the parallel virtual machine approach and the message passing interface paradigm are addressed.
