A Replica Location Service (RLS) allows registration and discovery of data replicas. In earlier work, we proposed an RLS framework and described the performance and scalability of...
Data sources, storage, computing resources and services are entities on Grids that require mechanisms for publication and lookup. A discovery service relies on efficient lookup to...
The growing needs in computational power to answer to the increasing number of on-line services and the complexity of applications makes it mandatory to build corresponding hardwar...
Metadata is the information that describes the most important feature of an object. In recent years, metadata plays a more and more important role in data intensive applications. I...
R-GMA (Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture) [1] is a grid monitoring and information system that provides a global view of data distributed across a grid system. R-GMA creates ...
