Software Systems group to edit Handbook of Research on P2P and Grid Systems
Tuesday 15 July 2008
Dr Nick Antonopoulos and Georgios Exarchakos are co-editing Handbook of Research on P2P and Grid Systems for Service-Oriented Computing: Models, Methodologies and Applications with Dr Maozhen Li (Brunel University) and Dr Antonio Liotta (University of Essex).
“This handbook aims to address the need for more literature onto the applicability and use of P2P and Grid computing techniques for delivering efficient service-oriented computing. Specifically the book has two key objectives: Firstly to explore how the P2P and Grid paradigms can be used to deliver quality of service in key operations such as the discovery, secure utilisation and coordination of distributed services. Secondly, to use the service-oriented computing as the context of a technical comparison between these two fields. The first objective is closely linked to commercial demand for distributed computing techniques that can form the basis for feasible and efficient solutions for service discovery, secure access and orchestration. The second objective is firmly rooted within the distributed computing academic and research community and its desire to better understand the link between P2P networks and Grids and thus research into potential hybrid solutions.”
If you are interested in submitting a chapter proposal, then the closing date is the 31st July 2008. Further details can be found here.
