A loosely coupled vision for computational grids
IEEE Distributed Systems Online, 2005Loosely coupled grids allow straightforward resource sharing because resources are accessed and exploited through de facto standard protocols and interfaces, similar to the Internet's early stages. The loosely coupled model allows easier, scalable, and compatible deployment at a lower global performance expense, compared to a tightly coupled ...

Future Generation Computer Systems, 1992
Abstract The notions of ‘loosely-coupled’ and ‘tightly-coupled’ processes have been used in an intuitive way for many years by system designers. In this paper, we propose a precise characterization. All point-to-point message-communicating processes are loosely-coupled under our characterization.

Rigid designs are often brittle under stress; loosely coupled systems, on the other hand, can withstand changing conditions and stresses more effectively. Such designs are often more adaptable. Currency exchange rates, information hiding, and the design of earthquake-resistant buildings all share this loose coupling property.

A Distributed Eigensolver for Loosely Coupled Networks
2013 21st Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed, and Network-Based Processing, 2013We introduce a new distributed eigensolver (dOI) for square matrices based on orthogonal iteration. In contrast to standard parallel eigensolvers, our approach performs only nearest neighbor communication and provides much more flexibility with respect to the properties of the hardware infrastructure on which the computation is performed.

Designing for loose coupling in mobile groups
Proceedings of the 2003 international ACM SIGGROUP conference on Supporting group work, 2003Loose coupling is a common way of organizing collaboration in work groups, but it has not been studied extensively in CSCW. In this paper, we consider the patterns of work that are seen in mobile groups that adopt a loosely coupled collaboration style.

The Looseness of Loose Coupling: The Use and Misuse of “Loose Coupling” in Higher Education Research
2019Abstract The term “loose coupling” has been widely employed in higher education research. Building partly on the “garbage can model” of decision-making, it proposed an alternative to rational and linear views on organizing and governing, emphasizing instead ambiguity and complexity.

Framelets—small and loosely coupled frameworks
ACM Computing Surveys, 2000Not only the design of complex frameworks is hard, but also the reuse of such artefacts. Furthermore, the internal working of different frameworks is usually not compatible so that two or more frameworks can hardly be combined. As alternative we propose framelets as small architectural building blocks that can be easily understood, modified and ...

Collections are widely used as a basic programming abstraction to store, retrieve and manipulate objects. There are different known types of collections (e.g., sets, bags, queues), offering various semantics for different application purposes. A collection can offer a distributed flavor, that is, it can be accessible from various nodes of a network ...

A performance comparison of a closely-coupled and a loosely-coupled architecture
Journal of Systems and Software, 1990Abstract This paper presents a VAXcluster and an Ether-net-based distributed system architecture. A VAXcluster represents a closely-coupled distributed system; the Ethernet-based system is a loosely-coupled distributed system. The distinguishing feature of a VAX-cluster is that it has a shared file system.

REST-based management of loosely coupled services
Proceedings of the 18th international conference on World wide web, 2009Applications increasingly make use of the distributed platform that the World Wide Web provides - be it as a Software-as-a-Service such as salesforce.com, an application infrastructure such as facebook.com, or a computing infrastructure such as a "cloud".
