Abstract
We address the challenging problem of program design for metacomputing in the heterogeneous, highly dynamic Internet environment, by providing the application user with a set of parameterized components called skeletons. This paper focuses on estimating the execution time of the application-specific program parts expressed in Java. Our results allow a reliable performance prediction for the execution of skeleton-based programs on remote Internet servers.
