US-France (INRIA) Cooperative Research: Active Middleware Grids

0334238李这项为期三年的美法（INRIA）合作研究奖支持航空航天公司的克雷格李和博士埃里克科访问法国。南加州大学的学生。 它为航空航天的ITR增加了一个国际层面在这项双边合作中，Laurent Lefevre和INRIA的研究人员，（Institut National de la Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique）、里昂的巴黎高等师范学院，将与航空航天公司合作开发主动网络的通用基础设施，启用或拓扑感知的中间件服务，可以很容易地从网格应用程序访问。 INRIA直接参与了e-Toile项目，以部署一个法国实验网格平台，包括对服务质量和可靠多播的主动中间件支持。 e-Toile网格提供了一个测试平台来评估中间件原型，用于（1）减少通信需求;（2）基于内容的路由通信;（3）分布式仿真的兴趣和时间管理;（4）可靠的多播，事件服务;以及（5）网络质量服务。 美国--法国项目利用了在法国广泛分布的独特的电网测试平台。拓扑感知中间件服务适用于从分布式仿真到自组织网络和网格的许多不同领域。 由于适用性如此广泛，这些通信服务最终将被社会广泛使用。

0334238LeeThis three-year U.S. France (INRIA) cooperative research awards supports visits to France by Craig Lee of Aerospace Corporation and Eric Coe, a Ph.D. student at the University of Southern California. It adds an international dimension to Aerospace's ITR (Information Technology Research) award in active networks and grid computing.In this bilateral effort, Laurent Lefevre and researchers at INRIA (Institut National de la Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique), the Ecole Normale Superieure in Lyon, will work with Aerospace Corporation on a general infrastructure for active network-enabled or topology aware middleware services that are easily accessible from grid applications. INRIA is directly involved in the e-Toile project to deploy a French experimental grid platform to include active middleware support for quality of service and reliable multicast. The e-Toile grid provides a test bed to evaluate middleware prototypes for (1) reducing communication demand; (2) content-based routing communication; (3) interest and time management for distributed simulation; (4) reliable multicast, event services: and (5) network quality services. The U.S.-France project takes advantage of access to a unique e-grid test bed with a wide geographical distribution in France. Topology aware middleware services are applicable to many different domains from distribution simulation to ad-hoc networks and grids. With such wide applicability, these communications services eventually will be used by a wide segment of society.
