We propose, implement and evaluate three admission models for computational Grids. The models take the expected demand into account and offer a specific performance guarantee. Th...
Data streaming management and scheduling is required by many grid computing applications, especially when the volume of data to be processed is extremely high while available stor...
—Large-scale online applications such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) require large amount of computing resources that support many players interacting simultaneous...
Over the last few years various scientific experiments and Grid projects have developed different catalogs for keeping track of their data files. Some projects use specialized ...
Data replication is an excellent technique to move and cache data close to users. By replication, data access performance can be improved dramatically. One of the challenges in da...
