Context-Aware Cache Management in Grid Middleware

This paper focuses on context-aware data management services in grids with the aim of constructing self-adaptive middleware. The contribution is twofold. First it proposes a framework to facilitate the development of context management services. The reason is that, even a context management service, is context specific. The creation of adhoc context managers is crucial. Second, this papers introduces context awareness in cooperative semantic caches. Preliminary results of our experiments on the Grid5000 platform are reported.
