DESCRIPTION
The aim of the EEF Global Computing Summer School is to provide researchers with insights into the problems of the design and construction of global computing systems. Global computation is an active field of research which includes distributed and mobile computation and addresses the foundational problems in the area such as security, access control, resource control, discovery, architecture and decentralised organisation. The fundamental tools used to analyse and build such systems are type systems, process algebras, modelling languages and state-of-the-art programming languages and environments.
