Programming Distributed Computing Systems by Carlos A. Varela

IOS consists of distributed middlware agents that are capable of interconnecting themselves in various virtual peer-to-peer topologies.

The Internet Operating System (IOS) is a middleware infrastructure which aims at freeing appliction developers from dealing with non-functional concerns while seeking to optimize application performance and glbal resource utilization.

As a proof of concept, we present a sofware framework for dynamically reconfigurable distributed applications. We propose decetralized middleware-triggered dynamic reconfiguration straegies to enable application adaptation to the constantly changing resource availability of Internet-scale shared coputational grids. To fulfill this promise, grid environments require complex resource management. grids) promise to provide high performance and scalability to computationally intesive applications.
