In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
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...
While distributed, heterogeneous collections of computers (“Grids”) can in principle be used as a computing platform, in practice the problems of first discovering and then co...

With the advent of computational grids, networking performance over the wide-area network (WAN) has become a critical component in the grid infrastructure. Unfortunately, many hig...
