Multiparadigm communications in Java for grid computing
Vladimir Getov, Gregor von Laszewski, Michæl Philippsen, Ian T Foster · Communications of the ACM · 2001
This article discusses the utility of multiparadigm communications in Java programming language for grid computing. The computational science community has long been at the forefront of advanced computing, due to its need to solve problems requiring resources beyond those provided by the most powerful computers. More recently, the widespread availability of high-speed networks and the growing awareness of the new problem solving modalities made possible when these networks are used to couple geographically distributed resources have stimulated interest in so called grid computing. Besides making these communication paradigms available and efficient in Java, further advances are needed to realize the full potential of emerging grids in which users deal with heterogeneous systems, diverse programming paradigms and the needs of multiple user communities. Advanced applications like those in science and engineering can require multiple communication abstractions, ranging from message passing to remote method invocation and component frameworks.
