	Areté Associates - Distributed Computing
		With the ubiquitous presence of the personal computer, the vast majority of the world’s computing power and disk space is no longer concentrated with a relative small number of supercomputer but with the hundreds of millions of personal computers currently in use.
		BOINC is designed to take advantage of a computer’s processing power and results in an automated cyclical process between a project server and participating PC that is repeated indefinitely with little to no user involvement.
		BOINC was employed to help meet these computational burdens and resulted in a tremendous reduction in overall computation time and the solving of problems which had never been attempted.

	09.15.2004 - Climate prediction goes BOINC
		The BOINC platform makes it easier for science projects to develop a distributed version of their software to take advantage of the many idle computers in the world, which together exceed the combined computing power in the business and academic world.
		BOINC was developed by Anderson and his colleagues at UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory with assistance from the National Science Foundation, and they have posted the open-source software on the Web at http://boinc.berkeley.edu.
		With a distributed computing project, they will be able to run the model with various values of the parameters and look for wild swings resulting from tiny changes in the parameters - a signal that a parameter is highly sensitive to the modelers' lack of knowledge.

	BOINC activities at CERN (April 2006) - CNL - CERN Courier
		BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) [1] is an open-source software platform for distributed computing that employs volunteered computer resources.
		BOINC can be seen as a specialized Grid that is suitable for running applications that are "pleasantly parallel", so that calculations can be distributed to thousands of machines that do not communicate with each other.
		BOINC is now being used by many projects in domains such as physics, medicine and climate prediction.

	JXTA - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		In computer networking, JXTA (Juxtapose) is Sun Microsystems' opensource-based peer-to-peer infrastructure.
		JXTA technology is a set of open protocols that allow any connected device on the network ranging from cell phones and wireless PDAs to PCs and servers to communicate and collaborate in a P2P manner.
		JXTA peers create a virtual network where any peer can interact with other peers and resources directly even when some of the peers and resources are behind firewalls and NATs or are on different network transports.

	BOINC - Debian Wiki
		In short, BOINC provides an infrastructure for distributed computing that is currently applied for various scientific problems.
		Thus, the provision of BOINC on Debian significantly contributes to the acceptance of the project in all these non-mainstream architectures.

		The shared computing experiment known as SETI@Home has been so successful that it has now outgrown its original format and program, to be replaced by another entity, much larger in scope and purpose, entitled: "BOINC", or the "Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing".
		BOINC software will also allow those interested in these sciences to participate in as many of these studies as they would like, and to ascribe the percentage of down time the computer is to devote to each project.
		We are committed to sharing the computing wealth, as it were, and assisting the Scientific Community in these important endeavors.
