Description :
------------
Metacomputing environments range from diverse computing elements within a
single system to coordinated, geographically distributed machines with
different architectures. A Metacomputer provides a variety of capabilities
that can be orchestrated to execute multiple tasks with varied computational
requirements. Applications in these environments achive their performance by
properly mapping the tasks onto the best suited platforms while considering
the overhead of inter-task communication and the coordination of distinct
data sources and administrative domains.

Topics of interest include :
----------------------------
         management of distributed resources
         networking tools
         programming paradigms
         processor assignment and scheduling
         fault tolerance
         compiler assistance
         application studies
         quality of service
         task profiling
