Abstract— Emergent wide-area distributed systems like computational grids present opportunities for large scientific applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms hav...
A widely used computational model for constructing fault-tolerant distributed applications employs atomic transactions for controlling operations on persistent objects. There has ...
Existing data grid scheduling systems handle huge data I/O via replica location services coupled with simple staging, decoupled from scheduling of computing tasks. However, when th...
Creating replicas of frequently accessed objects across a read-intensive network can result in large bandwidth savings which, in turn, can lead to reduction in user response time....
Data-sharing scientific communities use storage systems as distributed data stores by replicating content. In such highly replicated environments, a particular dataset can reside ...
