One of the first motivations of using grids comes from applications managing large data sets in field such as high energy physics or life sciences. To improve the global throughput...
Modern applications are designed in multiple tiers to separate concerns. Since each tier may run at a separate location, middleware is required to mediate access between tiers. Ho...
Technology trends are such that single event effects (SEE)are likely to become even more of a concern for the future. Decreasing feature sizes, lower operating voltage, and higher...
Sampling is a widely used technique to increase efficiency in database and data mining applications operating on large dataset. In this paper we present a scalable sampling imple...
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...
