Computational grids are probably among the most heterogeneous computing systems.
However, they are very attractive for their potential computational power. Their heterogeneity …

Although there have been several attempts to create grid systems, there is no clear definition
for grids. In this paper, a formal approach is presented for defining elementary functionalities …

Realistic workloads are essential in evaluating middleware for computational grids. One
important component is the raw grid itself: a network topology graph annotated with the …

A fundamental building block of any Grid infrastructures is the Grid information service and
the information model. The information model describes the entities and relationships …

Grid computing is emerging as the foundation upon which virtual organizations can be built.
Such organizations are becoming of increasing importance for tackling various projects …

The Grid is rapidly emerging as the dominant paradigm for wide area distributed application
systems. As a result, there is a need for modeling and analyzing the characteristics and …

In grid computing environments, network bandwidth discovery and allocation is a serious
issue. Before their applications are running, grid users will need to choose hosts based on …

Understanding large Grid platform configurations and generating representative synthetic
configurations is critical for Grid computing research. This paper presents an analysis of …
