    The complex structure of the Web requires decentralised, adaptive mechanisms efficiently providing access to local and global capacities. To facilitate the development of such mechanisms, it seems reasonable to build clusters of machines with similar structures and interests. In such a manner, communities of machines can be built. In a community, every machine contributes to the overall success through a division of management work and a respective collaboration. This article presents and analyses experimental results for algorithms optimising service response times in a community. It extends previously published results on the Wanderer optimisation algorithm; we describe variations of the Wanderer and present simulation results of these variations.

    In this paper we propose a simple powerful method to increase communication performance in large networks such as the Internet. Our approach is based on the usage multiple disjunct paths for the transmitting data from one node to another one. The method exploits the dense connectivity of the Internet by making use of the different routes engaged in communications originating from different nodes to one target nodes. We show that depending on the bandwidth offered and the amount of data to be transfered, a linear speedup can be achieved. An experimental implementation of the method within the WOS framework confirms the theoretical analysis of the method.

    Intensional Programming involves the programming of expressions placed in an inherent multidimensional context space. It is an emerging and highly dynamic domain of general application. The fast growing computer connectivity allows for more and more efficient implementation of distributed applications. The paradigm of intensionality inherently includes notions of parallelism at different levels. However, the currently available intensional programming software tools are becoming obsolete and do not enable us to further push forward practical investigations on the subject. Experience shows that the theoretical advancement of the field has come to acceptable maturity. Consequently, new powerful tools for intensional programming are required. In this paper, we present the design of a General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY). The design and implementation of the GIPSY reflect three main goals: generality, adaptability and efficiency.
