Abstract— High-performance computing and vast storage are two key factors required for executing data-intensive applications. In comparison with traditional distributed systems like data grid, cloud computing provides these factors in a more affordable, scalable and elastic platform. Furthermore, accessing data files is critical for performing such applications. Sometimes accessing data becomes...

Large-scale network monitoring systems require efficient storage and consolidation of measurement data. Relational databases and popular tools such as the Round-Robin Database show their limitations when handling a large number of time series. This is because data access time greatly increases with the cardinality of data and number of measurements. The result is that monitoring systems are for...

data grid is an infrastructure that controls huge amount of data files, and provides intensive computational resources across geographically distributed collaboration. the heterogeneity and geographic dispersion of grid resources and applications place some complex problems such as job scheduling. most existing scheduling algorithms in grids only focus on one kind of grid jobs which can be data...

With the wide development of databases in general and data warehouses in particular, it is important to reduce the tasks that a database administrator must perform manually. The aim of auto-administrative systems is to administrate and adapt themselves automatically without loss (or even with a gain) in performance. The idea of using data mining techniques to extract useful knowledge for admini...

With the wide development of databases in general and data warehouses in particular, it is important to reduce the tasks that a database administrator must perform manually. The idea of using data mining techniques to extract useful knowledge for administration from the data themselves has existed for some years. However, little research has been achieved. The aim of this study is to search for...

We propose a new scheme for creating replica based on network coding in grid environments. For creating replica with network coding, there are two models: encoding between blocks of a replica and encoding between blocks of different replicas. The former is based on a butterfly-shaped topology, and the later, in theory, based on any topology with a node more than one degree. Based on the later m...

This paper discusses several channel allocation methods for data dissemination in mobile computing systems. We suggest that the broadcast and on-demand channels have different access performance under different system parameters and that a mobile cell should use a combination of both to obtain optimal access time for a given workload and system parameters. We study the data access efficiency of...
