Apple's release of the Xgrid framework for distributed computing introduces a new technology solution for loosely coupled distributed computation. In this paper systematicall...
Data Grids provide transparent access to heterogeneous and autonomous data resources. The main contribution of this paper is the presentation of a data sharing system that (i) is ...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at the different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is impor...
Scheduling tasks on large-scale computational grids is difficult due to the heterogeneous computational capabilities of the resources, node unavailability and unreliable network ...
Discovery of service providers that are useful to service requesters is a common problem in large, dynamic serviceoriented systems, such as Grids. Simple service indices do not ad...
