Abstract The Globus Toolkit Monitoring and Discovery System (MDS4) defines and
implements mechanisms for service and resource discovery and monitoring in distributed …

Performance prediction is set to play a significant role in supportive middleware that is
designed to manage workload on parallel and distributed computing systems. This …

Monitoring and information services form a key component of a distributed system, or grid. A
quantitative study of such services can aid in understanding the performance limitations …

This chapter summarizes the recent advances toward the vision of utility grids. It starts with
an overview of grid and utility computing, and specifies all the requirements of a utility grid …

Distributed virtual machines can help to build scalable, manageable, and efficient grid
infrastructures. The work proposed in this paper focuses on employing virtual machines for …

Grid computing is a framework for large-scale resource sharing and indexing that evolves
with the goal of resource provisioning. In this paper, we develop a distributed learning …

Monitoring and information system (MIS) implementations provide data about available
resources and services within a distributed system, or Grid. A comprehensive performance …

Resource discovery and monitoring in a distributed grid environment gives rise to several
issues, one of which is the provision of reliable performance and hence, the quality-of …

This paper describes a stateful service‐oriented middleware infrastructure for the
management of scientific tasks running on multi‐domain heterogeneous distributed …

This paper seeks to identify some of the technology challenges and research opportunities
in assessing, optimising and assuring performance and dependability on the grid. Grid …
