“…Education is considered to be a "very natural and important application of grid technologies" [6], and CSCL is one of the major research fields in technology-enabled education. The analysis of main grid characteristics [7] also supports the idea that the use of a grid infrastructure can provide major benefits for CSCL applications: large scale of grid infrastructures, wide distribution of resources, inter-organization relationship support and heterogeneous nature of shared resources are some of the most relevant characteristics of grid computing for the CSCL domain. This paper presents our work towards merging CSCL, CBSE, and grid technologies.…”

Abstract. This paper presents our research efforts towards enabling the use of grid infrastructures for supporting Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) applications developed according to the principles of ComponentBased Software Engineering (CBSE). An illustrative example of a gridsupported component-based collaborative learning application is presented and discussed. This discussion leads to the study of application scheduling and component hosting problems for CSCL applications within a grid context based on the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA).

“…In the context of our research, Grid computing [19], [20] has been used to support the real-time requirements imposed by human perceptual capabilities as well as the wide range of many different interactions that can take place as one of the most challenging issues of collaborative computing support. For instance, Grid computing offers high-throughput and data-intensive computing [17], which greatly facilitate the process of embedding information and knowledge into CSCL applications making it possible to provide users with real-time awareness and constant feedback.…”

Abstract. The information collected regarding group activity in a collaborative learning environment requires classifying, structuring and processing. The aim is to process this information in order to extract, reveal and provide students and tutors with valuable knowledge, awareness and feedback in order to successfully perform the collaborative learning activity. However, the large amount of information generated during online group activity may be timeconsuming to process and, hence, can hinder the real-time delivery of the information. In this study we show how a Grid-based paradigm can be used to effectively process and present the information regarding group activity gathered in the log files under a collaborative environment. The computational power of the Grid makes it possible to process a huge amount of event information, compute statistical results and present them, when needed, to the members of the online group and the tutors, who are geographically distributed.

“…The term grid computing [17] is commonly used to refer to a large-scale infrastructure that allows the sharing of both software and hardware distributed heterogeneous resources [18]. In analogy with the electric power grid that provides pervasive access to electric power, the computational grid provides ubiquitous access to software and hardware resources.…”
