Process Coordination and Ubiquitous Computing

Papers collected here, from a December 2001 workshop held at the University of Central Florida, examine topics related to process coordination and ubiquitous computing. Papers on coordination models discuss areas such as space-based coordination and open distributed systems, global virtual data structures, models of coordination and Web-based systems, and a coordination model for secure collaboration. Material on grid coordination examines the complexity of scheduling and coordination on computational grids, programming the grid with distributed objects, data sharing through virtual file systems, and dynamic data-driven application systems. Papers on intelligent coordination and ubiquitous computing look at terraforming cyberspace, thin middleware, and Internet security. There is no subject index.
