Data Grids have been adopted as the next generation platform by many scientific
communities that need to share, access, transport, process, and manage large data …

An iterative mincut heuristic for partitioning networks is presented whose worst case
computation time, per pass, grows linearly with the size of the network. In practice, only a …

This paper describes the Pegasus framework that can be used to map complex scientific
workflows onto distributed resources. Pegasus enables users to represent the workflows at …

A conversational implicature is an inference that consists of attributing to a speaker an
implicit meaning that goes beyond the explicit linguistic meaning of an utterance. This paper …

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of available computing
and storage resources. Yet few tools exist that allow these resources to be exploited …

With the advent of Grid and application technologies, scientists and engineers are building
more and more complex applications to manage and process large data sets, and execute …

In this paper we describe the Pegasus system that can map complex workflows onto the
Grid. Pegasus takes an abstract description of a workflow and finds the appropriate data and …

In certain aspects, the invention features a system and method for (1) receiving reservations
for a first subset of computing resources of a distributed computing system (DCS), wherein …

As computational Grids move away from the prototyping state, reliability, performance and
ease of use and maintenance become focus areas of their adoption. In this paper, we …

This paper discusses preliminary work on standardizing and implementing a remote
procedure call (RPC) mechanism for grid computing. The GridRPC API is designed to …
