This book contains four review articles in the area of scalable computing. Two of the articles discuss methods and tools for the parallel solution of irregular problems, which have been satisfactorily worked out in heterogeneous systems. One surveys the technology and applications of multimedia server clusters, which are playing an increasing role in the current networked environment. An additional article discusses SilkRoad, which adds distributed shared memory capabilities to the Cilk parallel programming system. Once again, the book represents a new set of steps forward in parallel systems. Graduate students, academics and researchers in supercomputing and computer engineering.

Comprehensively discusses significant projects in scalable computing in various research organizations around the world.
This volume presents original articles, reviewing various aspects of scalable computing. Parallel computation with optically interconnected systems makes its first appearance, and further work on distributed Java is also reported. Optimizing data grids and group communication are studied in two analytical chapters. The comprehensive treatment of these topics adds further to the current literature.

This book aims to show how programming will be changed by the concepts of parallel systems and how these concepts relate to the ideas of functions and objects. To demonstrate the kind of programming that can be done on these systems, the research language Balinda K is used. The book will also enhance the reader's grasp of the concepts of concurrency and modular programming, reviewing these from the perspectives of application programming in a parallel language. The book should interest graduate and senior undergraduate students of computer science and computer engineering, and IT professionals working in a multiprocesing or distributed computing environment.
The Third International Symposium on Large Spatial Databases (SSD '93) was held at the National University of Singapore in June 1993. The previous meetings of the series were at Sanata Barbara (1989) and Zurich (1991). The meetings are planned as a forum for researchers and practitioners specializing in database theory for and advanced applications of Spatial Information Systems. This volume constitutes the proceedings of the symposium. It contains 25 selected papersand three keynotes papers: "Spatial data management in database systems: research directions" (W. Kim), "From extensible databases to interoperability between multiple databases and GIS applications" (H.-J. Schek), and "The SEQUOIA 2000 project" (M. Stonebraker). The selectedpapers are collected into sections on: data modeling, spatial indexing, indexing mechanisms, handling of raster and vector data, spatial database systems, topology, storage management, query retrieval,knowledge engineering in SDS, and 3-dimensional data handling.
The effect of Japan on the challenges and complexities of the modernisation process that globalisation has brought to the fore in Asia are the subject of this interdisciplinary volume by leading scholars in the field. Using fascinating examples drawn from current business and organisational practice in Asia, it focuses on the impact that Japanese modernity has made in Asia as a model to be imitated because of its apparent success in adopting western technologies while retaining its own cultural identity. At the same time, Japan itself is a dominant force in modernity in East and South East Asia, exporting its own type of modernisation, management and business practices, and models of 'tradit...
Continuing the Series on Scalable Computing launched in 1999, this volume presents five articles reviewing significant current developments in the field. The topics include the collaborative activities support system, parallel languages, Internet Java, the multithreaded dataflow machine, and task allocation algorithms.
