Data-intensive e-science collaborations often require the transfer of large files with
predictable performance. To meet this need, we design novel admission control (AC) and …

In grid networks, distributed resources, computing or storage elements as well as scientific
instruments are interconnected to support computing-intensive and data-intensive …

The paper advocates that in some communication service providing settings, it is more
appropriate to focus on the continuity of a connection as the prime reliability attribute for …

Grid applications need to move large amounts of data between distributed resources within
deterministic timeframes. In most cases it is possible to specify the volume and the deadline …

This paper proposes an opportunistic, reliable and realistic QoS mechanism for bulk data
transfers in grids, which maximizes acceptance rate and network resource utilization by …

Applications in high-speed networks like Grids often require to transfer large volumes of data
to remote locations under certain time constraints. This requires a network reservation …

To improve the Grid infrastructure's efficiency, the co-reservation of distributed resources is
often required. Therefore, Grid applications need to move large amounts of data between …

In this paper, we present a new approach to schedule malleable requests over grid
computing networks. The proposed solution called MS-DFGA (\emph {MS-DFGA: Malleable …

Advances in optical communication and networking technologies, together with the
computing and storage technologies, are dramatically changing the ways scientific research …
