Volunteer-based grid computing resources are characteristically volatile and frequently become unavailable due to the autonomy that owners maintain over them. This resource volati...
Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
Abstract. As grids typically consist of autonomously managed subsystems with strongly varying resources, fault-tolerance forms an important aspect of the scheduling process of appl...
