The Grid promise is starting to materialize today: largescale multi-site infrastructures have grown to assist the work of scientists from all around the world. This tremendous gro...
One of the key requirement for Grid infrastructures is the ability to share resources with nontrivial qualities of service. However, resource management in a decentralized infrast...
Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
The packet routing problem, i.e., the problem to send a given set of unit-size packets through a network on time, belongs to one of the most fundamental routing problems with impor...
