Volunteer-based grid computing resources are characteristically volatile and frequently become unavailable due to the autonomy that owners maintain over them. This resource volati...
We describe a software architecture for storage services in computational grid environments. Based upon a lightweight message-passing paradigm, the architecture enables the provis...
—This paper describes a study of predicting machine availabilities and user presence in a pool of desktop computers. The study is based on historical traces collected from 32 mac...
We present an adaptive compression environment (ACE) that uses both underlying resource performance (network and CPU) predictions and the compressibility of the data stream to per...
It is envisaged that the grid infrastructure will be a large-scale distributed software system that will provide high-end computational and storage capabilities to differentiated ...
