— In this paper, we propose a distributed data storage framework that supports unrestricted offline access. The system does not explicitly distinguish between connected and disc...
Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
To provide performant access to data from high energy physics experiments such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), controlled replication of files among grid sites is required. Dy...

Replication is a key technique for improving fault tolerance. Replication can also improve application performance under some circumstances, but can have the opposite effect under...
1 Data distribution and replication in distributed systems require special purpose middleware tools for accessing replicated data. Data Grids, special forms of a systems distribute...
