MobileRMI: upgrading Java Remote Method Invocation towards mobility: Research Articles
Software - Practice and Experience, 2005Co-Authors: Marco Avvenuti, Alessio VecchioAbstract:Code mobility is recognized as a promising design technique, able to improve flexibility, adaptability and bandwidth utilization in mobile computing applications. To promote and facilitate its use, researchers argue that code mobility should be made available to programmers in combination with, and not as an alternative to, more traditional programming models. This paper describes the design and implementation of the MobileRMI toolkit which, unlike agent-based systems, enables mobility-based programming within a widely accepted middleware platform, Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Our toolkit provides a set of mobility primitives that allow programmers to create, clone and move remote objects across a network. To preserve Location Transparency we implemented a novel, efficient scheme for automatically updating remote references by exploiting the distributed garbage collector. Programming examples are given and a case study where an adaptive application uses logical mobility to minimize communication over a mobile ad hoc network is presented. Experience from using MobileRMI confirmed the benefit of designing both static and mobile applications within the same programming framework. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

design and implementations of ninf towards a global computing infrastructure
Future Generation Computer Systems, 1999Co-Authors: Hidemoto Nakada, M. Sato, S. SekiguchiAbstract:Abstract The world-wide computing infrastructure on the growing computer network technology is a leading technology to make a variety of information services accessible through the Internet for every user from the high-performance computing users through many of personal computing users. The important feature of such services is Location Transparency; information can be obtained irrespective of time or Location in virtually shared manner. In this article, we overview Ninf, an ongoing global network-wide computing infrastructure project which allows users to access computational resources including hardware, software and scientific data distributed across a wide area network. Preliminary performance result on measuring software and network overhead is shown, and that promises the future reality of world-wide network computing.

ninf a network based information library for global world wide computing infrastructure
IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing Data and Analytics, 1997Co-Authors: M. Sato, Hidemoto Nakada, S. Sekiguchi, Satoshi Matsuoka, Umpei Nagashima, Hiromitsu TakagiAbstract:Ninf is an ongoing global network-wide computing infrastructure project which allows users to access computational resources including hardware, software and scientific data distributed across a wide area network. Ninf is intended not only to exploit high performance in network parallel computing, but also to provide high quality numerical computation services and accesses to scientific database published by other researchers. Computational resources are shared as Ninf remote libraries executable at a remote Ninf server. Users can build an application by calling the libraries with the Ninf Remote Procedure Call, which is designed to provide a programming interface similar to conventional function calls in existing languages, and is tailored for scientific computation. In order to facilitate Location Transparency and network-wide parallelism, Ninf metaserver maintains global resource information regarding computational server and databases, allocating and scheduling coarse-grained computation for global load balancing. Ninf also interfaces with the WWW browsers for easy accessibility.

S4: Distributed stream computing platform
Proceedings - IEEE International Conference on Data Mining ICDM, 2010Co-Authors: Leonardo Neumeyer, Bruce Robbins, Anish Nair, Anand KesariAbstract:S4 is a general-purpose, distributed, scalable, partially fault-tolerant, pluggable platform that allows programmers to easily develop applications for processing continuous unbounded streams of data. Keyed data events are routed with affinity to Processing Elements (PEs), which consume the events and do one or both of the following: (1) emit one or more events which may be consumed by other PEs, (2) publish results. The architecture resembles the Actors model, providing semantics of encapsulation and Location Transparency, thus allowing applications to be massively concurrent while exposing a simple programming interface to application developers. In this paper, we outline the S4 architecture in detail, describe various applications, including real-life deployments. Our design is primarily driven by large scale applications for data mining and machine learning in a production environment. We show that the S4 design is surprisingly flexible and lends itself to run in large clusters built with commodity hardware.
