A middleware which is executed on every participating computer can build a Desktop Grid in a fully distributed way. This thesis defines goals, identifies issues and proposes solutions for the design of such a middleware. It focuses on the problem's algorithmic aspects, and its contribution is threefold. First, it develops a way to create an efficient Peer-to-Peer overlay that links the participants. Second, it describes a mechanism to counter free-riding. Third, it examines the properties of suitable jobs and the distributed workflow. Experiments with a middleware prototype in live environments show that considerable acceleration can be attained through distributed computing on a Desktop Grid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthias Priebe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832524533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832524531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Matthias Priebe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450120515839,"sku":"9783832524531","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cf96229-6e0b-443c-8b7b-0259b6250a44.jpg?v=1777266303","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-the-design-of-a-matthias-priebe-9783832524531","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
