Grid computations require global access to massive data stores. To meet this need, the GridNFS project aims to provide scalable, high-performance, transparent, and secure wide-are...
Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
Traditionally, distributed computing problems have been solved by partitioning data into chunks able to be handled by commodity hardware. Such partitioning is not possible in case...
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...
Scientists are increasingly using large distributed systems built from commodity off-the-shelf components to perform scientific computation. Grid computing has expanded the scale ...
