A computational grid is a large-scale distributed computing environment capable of providing dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high-end computational re...
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers keep extending with new features the computing infrastructures they offer on a pay per use basis. In this paper we explore reasons and...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
This paper describes a virtual networking approach for Grids called ViNe. It enables symmetric connectivity among Grid resources and allows existing applications to run unmodified...
