ARCO: Moving Digital Library Storage to Grid Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Storage has been extensively studied during the past few decades (Foster et al., 1997; Jos Guimares, 2001). However, the emerging trends on distributed computing bring new solutions for existent problems. Grid computing proposes a distributed approach for data storing. In this paper, we introduce a Grid-based system (ARCO) developed for multimedia storage of large ammounts of data. The system is being developed for Biblioteca Nacional, the National Library of Portugal. Using Grid informational system and resources management, we propose a transparent system where TeraBytes of data are stored in a beowulf cluster built of commodity components with backup solution and error recover mechanisms.

Digital libraries in healthcare are hosting an inherently large collection of digital information. Especially in medical digital libraries, this information needs to be analyzed and processed in a timely manner. Sensor data streams, for instance, providing continuous information on patients have to be processed on-line in order to detect critical situations. This is done by combining existing s...
