Resource discovery in a Grid environment is a critical problem, as a typical Grid system includes a very large number of resources, which must be readily identified and accessed ...
We describe a software architecture for storage services in computational grid environments. Based upon a lightweight message-passing paradigm, the architecture enables the provis...
Abstract. In this paper, we analyze the problem of grid resource brokering in the presence of economic information about the price of resources. We examine in detail the main tasks...
A computational grid is a large-scale distributed computing environment capable of providing dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high-end computational re...
