I am pleased to announce the release of DOGMA 1.1
which represents the culmination of the 0.x series
of DOGMA releases.

Overview

DOGMA is a metacomputing environment which greatly 
simplifies heterogeneous parallel computing.  DOGMA can
be used in a variety of ways.  For example:

 - As a heterogeneous cluster computing environment.
 - To provide remote non-technical users easy access to
   local applications as well as local computing resources.
 - To provide remote non-technical users with access to
   local applications which they can run on their own
   computing resources.
 - To publish parallel application executable code on the 
   Web which can be used by DOGMA installations worldwide.
 - As an application server for parallel applications.
 - To easily provide a parallel wrapper for native 
   applications.  DOGMA can automatically download native 
   applications and data files from a URL if needed.

APIs

DOGMA provides two programming APIs:  
MPIJ - a Java message passing API similar to the Message 
Passing Interface, and Dynamic Object Groups - an easy 
to use hierarchical master/slave programming API.
