Data replications is a typical strategy for increasing access performance and data availability in Data Grid systems. Current work on data replication in Grid systems focuses on i...
We consider the problem of bulk data transfers and bandwidth sharing in the context of grid infrastructures. Grid computing empowers high-performance computing in a large-scale di...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is important ...
Large distributed Grid systems pose new challenges in job scheduling due to complex workload characteristics and system characteristics. Due to the numerous parameters that must b...
Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
