I need to get your advise which of the following choices or a different one ,you can give, I should take it as research topic. I have two alternatives for the topic: 1. (recommendation from Tom Haupt)- Web-based Metacomputing: here, we define metacomputing as integration of legacy codes in distributed environments and seamless access to remote resources. 2.(my choice) : here, I will try to solve or prove the HPcc methadology you invented with the experiments I did :like DARP, Quantum simulations and LMS with WebFlow and lastly Gateway middle tier I have recently developed its prototype. How did I get this research? In your HPcc paper, I extracted the following: We insist on adopting the architecture of commodity distribution systems as complex HPCC problems require the rich range of services offered by the broader community systems. Perhaps we could "port" commodity services to a custom HPCC system but this would require continued upkeep with each new upgrade of the commodity service. By adopting the architecture of the commodity systems, we make it easier to track their rapid evolution and expect it will give high functionality HPCC systems, which will naturally track the evolving Web/distributed object worlds. This requires us to enhance certain services to get higher performance and to incorporate new capabilities such as high-end visualization (e.g. CAVE's) or massively parallel systems where needed. This is the essential research challenge for HPcc for we must not only enhance performance where needed but do it in a way that is preserved as we evolve the basic commodity systems. 3. Last choice is combining these two : this means that how we can achieve Web-based metacomputing through HPcc principles because HPcc can be applied to both metacomputing and parallel programming environments. I really need your immediate advice about my research topic. Best Regards Thanks Erol Akarsu --------------8F21997856B7A8AA90AF70F3 Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi :
