I was thinking in the lines of cloud computing and middleware.

Is there a ranking which I refer to when it comes to distributed computing? I went through the USNews web site, but could not find any ranking which relates to specific fields (in my case distributed computing) of computer science.

Hi, I am planning to apply for Grad School. My interest areas distributed systems, web services. What are the best Grad Schools for the above research areas? Where can I find it?
