Shared machines in opportunistic grids typically have large quantities of unused disk space. These resources could be used to store application and checkpointing data when the mac...
Data replication is a well established concept in the grid community to increase data availability and faulttolerance in the grid environment. However, there is a lack of software...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
Resource sharing within grid collaborations usually implies specific sharing mechanisms at participating sites. Challenging policy issues can arise in such scenarios that integrate...
An important characteristic of distributed grids is that they allow geographically separated multicomputers to be tied together in a transparent virtual environment to solve large...
