Data management and transfer in High-performance computational grid environments

摘要

An emerging class of data-intensive applications involve the geographically dispersed ex- Traction of complex scientific information from very large collections of measured or computed Data. Such applications arise for example, in experimental physics, where the data in question Is generated by accelerators, and in simulation science, where the data is generated by super- Computers. So-called Data Grids provide essential infrastructure for such applications, much As the Internet provides essential services for applications such as e-mail and the WeB.
