Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
The use of today’s multicluster grids exhibits periods of submission bursts with periods of normal use and even of idleness. To avoid resource contention, many users employ obse...
Hidden information is a critical issue for the successful delivery of SLAs in grid systems. It arises when the agents (hardware and software resources) employed to serve a task be...
Though shared virtual memory (SVM) systems promise low cost solutions for high performance computing, they suffer from long memory latencies. These latencies are usually caused by...
There is a growing need for systems that can monitor and analyze application performance data automatically in order to deliver reliable and sustained performance to applications....
Agent-oriented software is promising improvements especially for the design of distributed systems. But currently, there is a substantial gap between the massive number of publica...
We present a method for the efficient access to parts of remote files. The efficiency is achieved by using a file format independent compact pattern description, that allows to re...

Traffic congestion has become a major concern for many cities throughout the world. Simulations provide useful tools for engineer to plan traffic systems and government to make de...
In heterogeneous and dynamic distributed systems like the Grid, detailed monitoring of workload and its resulting system performance (e.g. response time) is required to facilitate...
The Web Services Resource Framework (WS-RF) and the Web Services Notification (WS-N) specifications are a crucial component of Grid infrastructures. They provide a standardized int...
