In this paper, we address the problem of resource discovery in a grid based multimedia environment, where the resources providers, i.e. servers, are intermittently available. Give...
Developers and users of high-performance distributed systems often observe performance problems such as unexpectedly low throughput or high latency. Determining the source of the ...

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...
In this paper, we describe FOBS: a simple userlevel communication protocol designed to take advantage of the available bandwidth in a highbandwidth, high-delay network environment...
Many Physics experiments today generate large volumes of data. That data is then processed in a variety of ways in order to achieve the understanding of fundamental physical pheno...

An essential building block for any Data Grid infrastructure is the storage server. In this paper we describe a high-performance cluster storage server built around the SDSC Stora...
Increasing complexity of distributed applications and commodity of resources through grids are making the tasks of deploying those applications harder. There is a clear need for s...
