Abstract. One of the main challenges of grid systems of large scale and data intensive is that of providing high availability and performance, in spite of the unreliability and del...
Many scientific applications need to stage large volumes of files from one set of machines to another set of machines in a wide-area network. Efficient execution of such data t...
The increasingly common practice of replicating datasets and using resources as distributed data stores in Grid environments has led to the problem of determining which replica ca...
The Grid provides infrastructure that allows an arbitrary application to be executed on a range of different computational resources. When input files are very large, or when faul...
Data grids deal with a huge amount of data regularly. It is a fundamental challenge to ensure efficient accesses to such widely distributed data sets. Creating replicas to a suita...
