R help - Oct 2009 - distributed computing

Dear All,
I am a researcher, working at the Department of Software Engineering at
University of Minho, Portugal. I am working on in the area of Distributed
data mining and attempting to develop distributed data mining system in “R”
Environment.
I have an enquiry.
Suppose I have 3 different nodes (machines) running same program with
different set of data and these 3 machines save results in 3 different xml
files. After the execution of all client systems, the server system needs to
read this data. Further, if it is required, the news system should have
facility to perform a specified task with these data.
How can I perform this communication?
Are there any methods available?

I would be grateful, for any sort of help with this regard.

Kind regards
 Wesley Mathew.

Check out the high performance computing task view on cran:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.html

Lots of links to both packages and useful articles.
