Project Bayanihan
Goals
- Identify and study the problems and issues involved in volunteer computing
- Develop useful technology and theory to turn potentials into reality
Start simple, and work up
- first “forced volunteer” systems (i.e., intra-organization and inter-organization), then “true volunteer” systems
- apply results to commercial systems and NOIAs when infrastructure becomes available
Extensible ObjectOriented Software Framework
- modular and reusable design
- lets programmers not worry about low-level details
- currently using HORB -- like RMI but easier, faster, and works with JDK 1.0 (avoids Sun-Microsoft dispute!)
