    Scheduling distributed data-intensive applications on global grids
    VENUGOPAL, SRIKUMAR ( 2006-07)
    The next generation of scientific experiments and studies are being carried out by large collaborations of researchers distributed around the world engaged in analysis of huge collections of data generated by scientific instruments. Grid computing has emerged as an enabler for such collaborations as it aids communities in sharing resources to achieve common objectives. Data Grids provide services for accessing, replicating and managing data collections in these collaborations. Applications used in such Grids are distributed data-intensive, that is, they access and process distributed datasets to generate results. These applications need to transparently and efficiently access distributed data and computational resources. This thesis investigates properties of data-intensive computing environments and presents a software framework and algorithms for mapping distributed data-oriented applications to Grid resources.
