Data grids provide geographically distributed storage and computing resources for large data-intensive applications. To support fast data access and processing, effective data man...
Virtual machines can greatly simplify wide-area discomputing by lowering the level of abstraction to the benefit of both resource providers and users. Networking, however, can be ...
This paper presents a discussion on Grids merging with the economy. Until now no clear notion and categorization exist in this area. Problem formulations of “economy grid” proj...
In the context of computational grids, a metascheduler is the service responsible for scheduling jobs across many geographically distributed processor clusters. Typically, these s...
