tuBiG – A Layered Infrastructure to Provide Support for Grid Functionalities

The paper presents a Java-based object-oriented system that offers a layered infrastructure to create the adequate framework for complex interactions between Grid components (e.g., agents of Web services). Using a sharedmemory modeled by sets of tuples, our proposal can be considered as an abstract communication architecture for building Grid services. 1

Standardized Specifications, Development and Assessment of Large Morpho-Lexical Resources for Six Central and Eastern European Languages

This paper provides an overview of the harmonized language specifications for MULTEXT-East's six CEE languages, which include languages from the Romance, Finno-Ugric, and Slavic language families, and considers their use and distribution in lexicons for these languages. Because these language families include many features and properties not found in western European languages, such as heavy inflection and agglutination, adapting the specifications for western European languages to these languages posed many interesting and difficult problems. It describes the form and content of the six CEE language lexicons built on the basis of these specifications and provides quantitative assessment of the content, in order to compare the various languages
