Motivation: The myGrid project aims to exploit Grid technology, with an emphasis on the
Information Grid, and provide middleware layers that make it appropriate for the needs of …

The latest techniques and principles of parallel and grid database processing The growth in
grid databases, coupled with the utility of parallel query processing, presents an important …

We have developed and implemented the Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA)
as part of the DataGrid project, to provide a flexible information and monitoring service for …

This chapter examines how databases can be integrated into the Grid [1]. Almost all early
Grid applications are file-based, and so, to date, there has been relatively little effort applied …

Abstract Service-based approaches (such as Web Services and the Open Grid Services
Architecture) have gained considerable attention recently for supporting distributed …

A wireless sensor network (WSN) can be construed as an intelligent, large-scale device for
observing and measuring properties of the physical world. In recent years, the database …

Service-based approaches are rising to prominence because of their potential to meet the
requirements for distributed application development in e-business and e-science. The …

Query optimization is the most critical phase in query processing. In this paper, we try to
describe synthetically the evolution of query optimization methods from uniprocessor …

In this paper we describe a services oriented software system to provide basic database
support for efficient execution of applications that make use of scientific datasets in the Grid …

The Grid is an emerging infrastructure that supports the discovery, access and use of
distributed computational resources. The emergence of a serviceoriented view of hardware …
