—Data replications is a typical strategy for improving access performance and data availability in Data Grid systems. Current works on data replication in Grid systems focus on t...
In-memory data sharing for grids allow location-transparent access to data stored in volatile memory. Existing Grid middlewares typ- ically support only explicit data transfer betw...
An important problem that confronts data grid applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data replica. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Replica Loca...
