Example-Based Framework for Propagation of Tasks in Distributed Environments

In this chapter, we propose a generic framework in C# to distribute and compute tasks defined by users. Unlike the more popular models such as middleware technologies, our multinode framework is task-oriented desktop grid. In contrast with earlier proposals, our work provides simple architecture to define, distribute and compute applications. The results confirm and quantify the usefulness of such adhoc grids. Although significant additional experiments are needed to fully characterize the framework, the simplicity of how they work in tandem with the user is the most important advantage of our current proposal. The last section points out conclusions and future trends in distributed environments.
