Advances in Computing Science - ASIAN 2002: Internet Computing and Modeling, Grid Computing, Peer-to-Peer Computing, and Cluster Computing -

. .

Résumé :
The series of annual Asian Computing Science Conferences (ASIAN) was init- ted in 1995 by AIT, INRIA, and UNU/IIST to provide a forum for researchers in computer science from the Asian region and to promote interaction with - searchers from other regions. The ?rst six conferences were held, respectively, in Bangkok, Singapore, Katmandu, Manila, Phuket, and Penang. The proc- dings have been published in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science Series of Springer-Verlag. This year, the main themes chosen for ASIAN 2002 were: ? Internet Computing and Modeling, ? Grid, Peer-to-Peer, and Cluster Computing. The program committee selected 17 papers out of 30 submissions, and these papersshowverywelltherichnessofthis?eldofscienti?cinvestigations.Wehave indeed papers on topics ranging from scienti?c cluster computing to advanced networkingapplicationsforthegeneralpublic,andfromnetworkprotocoldesign and evaluation to the architecture of the Grid. The invited speakers of ASIAN 2002 were Alessandro Bassi (University of Tennessee), Brigitte Plateau (Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble), and Shinji Shimojo (Osaka University). The program committee thanks them for accepting its invitation. The conference was held in Hanoi, Vietnam. We are much obliged to the Asian Institute of Technology of Hanoi, and its director Prof. Nguyen Cong Thanh, for coordinating the local arrangements. Many thanks are due to our sponsoring institutions: the Asian Institute of Technology (Thailand), INRIA (France), and Waseda University (Japan). Finally, I wish to thank warmly the program committee and the additional referees,fortheire?cienthandlingofthepapersunderunusualtimeconstraints.
