Multiparadigm communications in Java for grid computing

In this article, we argue that the rapid development of Java technology now makes it possible to support, in a single object-oriented framework, the different communication and coordination structures that arise in scientific applications. We outline how this integrated approach can be achieved, reviewing in the process the state-of-the-art in communication paradigms within Java. We also present recent evaluation results indicating that this integrated approach can be achieved without compromising on performance.
