Production grids are complex and highly variable systems whose behavior is not well understood and difficult to anticipate. The goal of this study is to estimate the impact of the ...
Fault tolerance is one of the key issues for large scale applications executed on high performance computing systems. In a cluster federation, clusters are gathered to provide hug...
Prefetching is an effective technique for improving file access performance, which can reduce access latency for I/O systems. In distributed storage system, prefetching for metadat...

When orchestrating data-centric workflows as are commonly found in the sciences, centralised servers can become a bottleneck to the performance of a workflow; output from service i...
This paper presents the design and implementation of a new file system independent collective I/O optimization based on file views: view-based collective I/O. View-based collective...
As the adoption of grid technology moves from science to industry, new requirements arise. In todays grid middlewares, the notion of paying for a job is a secondary requirement. In...

We have been developing a Grid-enabled MPI communication library called GridMPI, which is designed to run on multiple clusters connected to a wide-area network. Some of these clust...
Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) is a discrete event simulation technique used to study complex systems with entities having social and autonomous behavior. MABS applications a...
