  abstract  = {Many of today's distributed computing systems in the field do not Support the migration of execution entities among computing nodes (luring runtime. The relatively static association between units of processing and computing nodes makes it difficult to implement fault-tolerant behavior or load-balancing schemes. The concept of code migration may provide a solution to the above-mentioned problems. it can be defined as the movement of processes, objects, or components from one computing node to another during system runtime in a distributed environment. With the advent of the virtual machine-based NET framework, many of the cross-language heterogeneity issues have been resolved. With the commercial implementation, the shared source "Rotor", and the open-source "Mono" implementation on hand, we have focused on cross-operating system heterogeneity issues and present interoperability and migration schemes for applications distributed over different operating systems (namely Linux and Windows 2000) as well as various NET implementations. Within this paper, we describe the integration of a migration facility with the hell) of Aspect- Oriented Programming (AOP) into the NET framework. AOP is interesting as it addresses non-functional system properties on the middleware level, without the need to manipulate lower system layers like the operating system itself. Most features required to implement object or process migration (such as reflection mechanisms or a machine-independent executable format) are already present in the NET frameworks, so the integration of such a concept is a natural extension of the system capabilities. We have implemented several proof-of-concept applications for different use case scenarios. The paper contains an experimental evaluation of the performance impact of object migration in context of those applications.},

  abstract  = {The submission and management of computational jobs is a traditional part of utility computing environments. End users and developers of domain-specific software abstractions often have to deal with the heterogeneity of such batch processing systems. This lead to a number of application programming interface and job description standards in the past, which are implemented and established for cluster and Grid systems. With the recent rise of cloud computing as new utility computing paradigm, the standardized access to batch processing facilities operated on cloud resources becomes an important issue. Furthermore, the design of such a standard has to consider a tradeoff between feature completeness and the achievable level of interoperability. The article discusses this general challenge, and presents some existing standards with traditional cluster and Grid computing background that may be applicable to cloud environments. We present OCCI-DRMAA as one approach for standardized access to batch processing facilities hosted in a cloud.},
