This volume presents original articles, reviewing various aspects of scalable computing. Parallel computation with optically interconnected systems makes its first appearance, and further work on distributed Java is also reported. Optimizing data grids and group communication are studied in two analytical chapters. The comprehensive treatment of these topics adds further to the current literature.

• An OMIS-based Approach to Monitoring Distributed Java Applications
• Scalable and Self-Optimizing Data Grids
• The Immediate Dependency Relation
• Highly Scalable Parallel Matrix Computing with Optical Buses
