Abstract


The NetSolve project, underway at the University
of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory,
allows users to access
computational resources, such as hardware and software,
distributed across the network. Thanks to a variety of interfaces
the user can easily perform scientific computing tasks without
having any computing resource installed on his/her computer.
There are many research issues
involved in the
NetSolve system, including fault-tolerance,
load balancing, user-interface design, computational servers, 
virtual libraries, and network based computing. 
As the project matures,
several promising  extensions and applications of NetSolve will emerge. 
In this talk, we provide an overview of the project and
examine some of the extensions being developed for NetSolve: An
interface to 
the Condor system, an interface to the ScaLAPACK parallel library,
a bridge with the Ninf system, 
and an integration of NetSolve and ImageVision.
