With the Semantic Web scaling up, and more triple-stores with update facilities being available, the need for higher levels of simultaneous triple-stores with identical information becomes more and more urgent. However, where such Data Replication approaches are common in the database community, there is no comprehensive approach for data replication for the Semantic Web. In this research propo...

Preface Today, more and more business applications are being designed to run in distributed computing environments. In these environments, data replication is a key to effectively distributing and sharing information. It is a fast and reliable way to disseminate and consolidate information to and from multiple locations. Furthermore, enterprise information systems become increasingly heterogene...

Data Grid environment is a geographically distributed that deal with date-intensive application in scientific and enterprise computing. In data-intensive applications data transfer is a primary cause of job execution delay. Data access time depends on bandwidth, especially when hierarchy of bandwidth appears in network. Effective job scheduling can reduce data transfer time by considering hiera...

Secret distribution and erasure convention based approaches have been used in distributed storage systems to provide the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical information. To achieve performance goals in data accesses, these data fragmentation approaches can be combined with dynamic replication. In this paper, we consider data partitioning (both secret distribution and erasur...
