Guaranteed delivery in Grids (GUARD-G)
The goal of this project on grid computing is to design
and analyze techniques for delivering guaranteed
service to applications in grids.
The GUARD-G project is part of the GLANCE
programme funded by NWO, and is performed jointly
with Leiden University.

Handling Uncertainties in Large-Scale Distributed Systems (ALEAE)
The goal of ALEAE is to provide models and algorithmic solutions in the field of resource management
that cope with uncertainties in large-scale distributed systems.
ALEAE is a joint project of Delft University of Technology, INRIA in France, Osaka University
in Japan, and the Zuse Institute in Berlin, Germany.
One of the first purposes of ALEAE is to build
the Failure Trace Archive (FTA), which
is a centralized public repository of
availability traces of parallel
and distributed systems, and tools
for their analysis. The purpose of this archive is to facilitate the
design, validation, and comparison of fault-tolerant models and
algorithms.

Virtual Laboratory for e-Science/KOALA
In the Dutch
national program Virtual
Lab for e-Science (VL-e),
we focus on resource
management, scheduling, and performance analysis. In particular,
we study the management and scheduling of jobs that require
co-allocation, that is, the simultaneous
allocation of resources (processors, data, etc.) in multiple
subsystems making up a grid. For this purpose, we have designed
and implemented the
KOALA grid scheduler.

CoreGRID
CoreGRID
is a Network of Excellence of the European Union in grid computing,
with 42 participating universities and public research institutes in Europe.
CoreGRID is divided into six work package or so-called
virtual institutes.
One of these is the virtual institute on
Resource Management and Scheduling, in which the
PDS group participates.

Condor
[ finished]
In this project on grid computing, we focused on resource
management across multiple sites. In particular, we designed and implemented
the flocking mechanism in Condor
for load sharing and
job migration across different Condor pools, in cooperation with the
main designer of the Condor system, Miron Livny.

P2P-Fusion
P2P-Fusion is an EU project on peer-to-peer systems for creative
reuse of multimedia content in virtual communities.
The project has seven partners in Finland, Hungary, and the Netherlands.

I-SHARE
I-SHARE
is a project on sharing technology at different levels in
wired and wireless P2P systems. It is part of the BSIK programmme
Freeband. As a guiding
example, we are defining an architecture for P2P-TV, a P2P
system for the dissemination of both live and recorded programs
of 10,000+ TV channels. Research issues are how to do recommendations
to users on TV programs, how to design the user interface,
how to build application-level multicast trees for distributing
live video, and in general, how to share the contents of individual
video recordings on users' hard disks.

Two-level peer-to-peer systems
The research topic
in this project is to exploit the heterogeneity of P2P systems,
and in particular, to assess the performance impact of the presence
of superpeers, which are peers that have
more capabilities than other peers. We cooperate
with the Large-Scale
Distributed Systems group of the Vrije
Universteit in Amsterdam in the Globesoul project.
