Many applications follow the distributed computing paradigm, in which parts of the application are executed on different network-interconnected computers. The extension of these applications in terms of number of users or size has led to an unprecedented increase in the scale of the infrastructure that supports them. Large-Scale Distributed Computing and Applications: Models and Trends offers a coherent and realistic image of today's research results in large scale distributed systems, explains state-of-the-art technological solutions for the main issues regarding large scale distributed systems, and presents the benefits of using large scale distributed systems and the development process of scientific and commercial distributed applications.

The overwhelming pace of evolution in technology has made it possible to develop intelligent systems which help users in their dayly life activities. - cordingly, methods of recording, managing and analysing data have evolved from the very simple ?le systems into complex ambient supportive intelligent systems. This book arises as a compilation of methods, techniques and tools c- nected with data related issues: from modelling to analysis. A broad range of approaches such as database self-* techniques for ubiquitous environments, multimedia data, or data driven models will be reviewed. Di?erent areas of applications, in which data models conceptualize nowadays reality, starting from e-learning to electric transformers will be considered. The book is a collection of representative contributions to cover the sp- trum related to data bases, which support decision making and data mining methods as well as conceptualization. Datawarehouse technology and m- eling are presented in the ?rst chapter together with the deep review of datawarehouse techniques for supporting e-learning processes with special emphasis on data cubes, all the tools are considered in the context of imp- mentationofsoftwareapplication.Thesecondchaptercontinueswiththes- ilar technology and deals with the community data warehouse architecture.
