Abstract

Grid computing platforms require to handle dynamic behaviour of computing resources within complex parallel applications. We introduce a formalization of adaptive behaviour that separates the abstract model of the application from the implementation design. We exemplify the abstract adaptation schema on two applications, and we show how two quite different approaches to adaptivity, the ASSIST environment and the AFPAC framework, easily map to this common schema.
