12th IEEE International Symposium on High Performance Distributed Computing Hpdc-12 2003

The proceedings cover a boad range of research topics including resource scheduling, co-allocation, high-performance communication, security, distributed resource monitoring, fault-handling, component-based software and resource discovery.

Grid computing has become an essential catalyst for research in distributed computing. As a result of this revolution, HPDC 2003's content has a larger emphasis on monitoring and information services for distributed systems, flexible information discovery in decentralized systems, and security. In addition, the proceedings cover a boad range of research topics including resource scheduling, co-allocation, high-performance communication, security, distributed resource monitoring, fault-handling, component-based software, resource discovery, peer to peer, workflow, information services, and efficient data movement.
