Parallel, Distributed and Multiagent Production Systems
This monograph coherently presents a series of research results on concurrent production systems recently contributed by the author and several co-authors.Before going into the details of concurrent production systems the performance of a single system is discussed. Based on these considerations it is explained how to estimate the efficiency of production systems programs and how to automatically determine efficient join structures. Parallel systems, including algorithms for parallel rule firings, distributed systems under distributed control, and particularly multiagent production systems and the related control issues are investigated. Finally a meta-level control architecture is applied to the construction of the multiagent system CoCo for public telecommunication network control.

Parallelisierung komplexer Probleme
Parallelisierung komplexer Probleme ging aus der gleichnamigen Veranstaltung 1990 in Mannheim hervor. Es enthält nach einer einleitenden Übersicht von H.W. Meuer über den Stand und die Entwicklungstendenz im Markt für Parallelrechner aktualisierte Artikel zu den im Tutorium diskutierten Themen und eine Zusammenfassung der abschließenden Podiumsdiskussion. Als erstes deutschsprachiges Buch befaßt es sich mit den Problemen und Erfahrungen bei der Programmierung von Fragestellungen aus Wissenschaft und Technik auf Parallelrechnern. Besonders wertvoll sind die Berichte der Anwender, die erstmals Parallelrechner als Produktionsrechner in der Praxis einsetzen. Um einen Überblick über dieses sich sehr schnell entwickelnde Gebiet zu geben, wurde auf eine breite Sammlung verschiedener Anwendungen und Architekturen Wert gelegt. Die Anwendungen erstrecken sich von der Elementarteilchenphysik über Strömungsdynamik im Automobilbau und Meeresforschung bis hin zu Software-Werkzeugen für Parallelrechner selbst. Während die Hälfte der Beiträge Erfahrungen mit globalem Speicher schildern (Cray, IBM, Alliant, Convex), gehen die anderen auf verteilte Speicher ein (Intel, Suprenum, iP-Systems, Parsytec). Der Leser dieses Buches erhält insgesamt einen Überblick und zugleich einen detaillierten Einblick in die derzeitigen Probleme und Erfolge beim Einsatz paralleler Rechner zur Lösung komplexer Probleme.

Parallele Systeme
Systeme paralleler Prozesse gehören seit jeher zu den reizvollsten Forschungs gegenständen der Informatik. Gleichzeitig klafft die Lücke zwischen Theorie und den Bedürfnissen des Software-Ingenieurs in kaum einem anderen Gebiet so sehr wie in diesem. Der Ingenieur benötigt wissenschaftlich fundierte Methoden zur Programmkonstruktion für - und das ist der springende Punkt - von-Neumann-Rechner; er verwendet sequentiell-algorithmische Program miersprachen, die gleichsam im Nachhinein um Konzepte der Programmierung paralleler Systeme ergänzt wurden. Der Theoretiker, der das Wesen der Parallelität zu ergründen versucht, findet andere, dazu viel besser geeignete Semantikmodelle und Maschinenarchitekturen - sofern er sich überhaupt um die praktische Umsetzbarkeit seiner Theorie kümmert. Es ist sicher nicht zu kühn, zu behaupten, daß noch wenigstens eine Dekade vergehen wird, bis nicht-von-Neumannsche Maschinen in größerem Umfang gebaut und verbreitet werden. Diese Arbeit hat deshalb zum Ziel, Methoden zur Strukturierung und zur Verifikation (verteilter) paralleler Systeme zu entwickeln, die aus sequen tiellen, auf Maschinen herkömmlicher Bauart ablaufenden Prozessen bestehen. Ich möchte allen danken, die mich unterstützt haben. Lron Treff und Franz Johann Schneider haben wesentlichen Anteil an der Implementierung des Patsy-Systems und der Entwicklung des Modulkonzepts. Prof. Dr. Uwe Ka stens hat mir wertvolle Ratschläge zur Semantik der Spezifikationssprache ge geben und mich darüber hinaus in zahlreichen Diskussionen unterstützt und motiviert. Dank gebührt besonders auch Prof. Dr. Gerhard Goos; er hat meine Aufmerksamkeit auf dieses Gebiet gelenkt, mir den für den Fortgang der Arbeit notwendigen Freiraum geschaffen und mit seiner konstruktiven Kritik sehr zur klareren Formulierung komplexer Zusammenhänge beigetragen.

Communication Complexity and Parallel Computing
The communication complexity of two-party protocols is an only 15 years old complexity measure, but it is already considered to be one of the fundamen tal complexity measures of recent complexity theory. Similarly to Kolmogorov complexity in the theory of sequential computations, communication complex ity is used as a method for the study of the complexity of concrete computing problems in parallel information processing. Especially, it is applied to prove lower bounds that say what computer resources (time, hardware, memory size) are necessary to compute the given task. Besides the estimation of the compu tational difficulty of computing problems the proved lower bounds are useful for proving the optimality of algorithms that are already designed. In some cases the knowledge about the communication complexity of a given problem may be even helpful in searching for efficient algorithms to this problem. The study of communication complexity becomes a well-defined indepen dent area of complexity theory. In addition to a strong relation to several funda mental complexity measures (and so to several fundamental problems of com plexity theory) communication complexity has contributed to the study and to the understanding of the nature of determinism, nondeterminism, and random ness in algorithmics. There already exists a non-trivial mathematical machinery to handle the communication complexity of concrete computing problems, which gives a hope that the approach based on communication complexity will be in strumental in the study of several central open problems of recent complexity theory.

Java and the Java Virtual Machine
The origin of this book goes back to the Dagstuhl seminar on Logic for System Engineering, organized during the first week of March 1997 by S. Jiihnichen, J. Loeckx, and M. Wirsing. During that seminar, after Egon Borger's talk on How to Use Abstract State Machines in Software Engineering, Wolfram Schulte, at the time a research assistant at the University of Ulm, Germany, questioned whether ASMs provide anything special as a scientifically well founded and rigorous yet simple and industrially viable framework for high level design and analysis of complex systems, and for natural refinements of models to executable code. Wolfram Schulte argued, referring to his work with K. Achatz on A Formal Object-Oriented Method Inspired by Fusion and Object-Z [1], that with current techniques of functional programming and of axiomatic specification, one can achieve the same result. An intensive and long debate arose from this discussion. At the end of the week, it led Egon Borger to propose a collaboration on a real-life specification project of Wolfram Schulte's choice, as a comparative field test of purely functional declarative methods and of their enhancement within an integrated abstract state-based operational (ASM) approach. After some hesitation, in May 1997 Wolfram Schulte accepted the offer and chose as the theme a high-level specification of Java and of the Java Virtual Machine.

Parallel Computation and Computers for Artificial Intelligence
It has been widely recognized that artificial intelligence computations offer large potential for distributed and parallel processing. Unfortunately, not much is known about designing parallel AI algorithms and efficient, easy-to-use parallel computer architectures for AI applications. The field of parallel computation and computers for AI is in its infancy, but some significant ideas have appeared and initial practical experience has become available. The purpose of this book has been to collect in one volume contributions from several leading researchers and pioneers of AI that represent a sample of these ideas and experiences. This sample does not include all schools of thought nor contributions from all leading researchers, but it covers a relatively wide variety of views and topics and in this sense can be helpful in assessing the state ofthe art. We hope that the book will serve, at least, as a pointer to more specialized literature and that it will stimulate interest in the area of parallel AI processing. It has been a great pleasure and a privilege to cooperate with all contributors to this volume. They have my warmest thanks and gratitude.

Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems
Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems has attracted increasing attention over the last few years, as it has become apparent that input/output performance, rather than CPU performance, may be the key limiting factor in the performance of future systems. This I/O bottleneck is caused by the increasing speed mismatch between processing units and storage devices, the use of multiple processors operating simultaneously in parallel and distributed systems, and by the increasing I/O demands of new classes of applications, like multimedia. It is also important to note that, to varying degrees, the I/O bottleneck exists at multiple levels of the memory hierarchy. All indications are that the I/O bottleneck will be with us for some time to come, and is likely to increase in importance. Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems is based on papers presented at the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops held in conjunction with the International Parallel Processing Symposium. This book is divided into three parts. Part I, the Introduction, contains four invited chapters which provide a tutorial survey of I/O issues in parallel and distributed systems. The chapters in Parts II and III contain selected research papers from the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops; many of these papers have been substantially revised and updated for inclusion in this volume. Part II collects the papers from both years which deal with various aspects of system software, and Part III addresses architectural issues. Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems is suitable as a secondary text for graduate level courses in computer architecture, software engineering, and multimedia systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

Job Scheduling Strategies for Parallel Processing
This volume contains the papers presented at the 9th workshopon Job Sched- ing Strategies for Parallel Processing, which was held in conjunction with HPDC12 and GGF8 in Seattle, Washington, on June 24, 2003. The papers went through a complete review process, with the full version being read and eva- ated by ?ve to seven members of the program committee. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the program committee, Su-Hui Chiang, Walfredo Cirne, Allen Downey, Wolfgang Gentzsch, Allan Gottlieb, Moe Jette, Richard Lagerstrom, Virginia Lo, Cathy McCann, Reagan Moore, Bill Nitzberg, Mark Squillante, and John Towns, for an excellent job. Thanks are also due to the authors for their submissions, presentations, and ?nal revisions for this volume. Finally, we would like to thank the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and the School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University for the use of their facilities in the preparation of these proceedings. This year we had papers on three main topics. The ?rst was continued work on conventional parallel systems, including infrastructure and scheduling al- rithms.Notable extensions include the considerationof I/O and QoSissues. The secondmajortheme wasscheduling inthe contextofgridcomputing, whichc- tinues to be an area of much activity and rapid progress.The third area was the methodological aspects of evaluating the performance of parallel job scheduling.
