Grid computing emerges as effective technologies to couple geographically distributed resources and solve large-scale problems in wide area networks. Resource Monitoring and Information Service (RMIS) is a significant and complex issue in grid platforms. A QoS-aware domain divided information service, HH-MDS, is introduced in this paper. It is an important component of our service grid platform...

Here we describe work being done to find a good way to provide a distributed Information Service suitable for the Grid. The importance of time in a Grid Information Service is emphasised.

In this paper, we present a Workflow-based grId portal for problem Solving Environment(WISE) which has been developed by integrating workflow, Grid and web technology to provide an enhanced powerful approach for problem solving environment. Workflow technology supports coordinated execution of multiple application tasks on Grid resources by enabling users to describe a workflow by composing man...

Runoff assessment and estimation is crucial for watershed management as it provides information that is needed to expedite the course of watershed planning and development. The most commonly used model due to its simplicity and versatility in runoff estimation is the soil conservation service curve number developed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The study estimates the surface ...

The service oriented architecture of grid computing has been thoughtfully engineered to achieve a service level virtualization: not only should a grid be a virtual machine (also known as a virtual organization, VO) of unbounded computational power and storage capacity, but also should the virtual machine be serviceable in all circumstances independent from serviceability of any of its component...

Data grid replication is critical for improving the performance of data intensive applications. Most of the used techniques for data replication use Replica Location Services (RLS) to resolve the logical name of files to its physical locations. An example of such service is Giggle, which can be found in the OGSA/Globus architecture. Classical algorithms also need some catalog and optimization s...
