"This book provides research into parallel & distributed computing, high performance computing, and Grid computing"--Provided by publisher.
This work characterizes the latest research on the use of quality of service (QoS) in grid computing, for academicians, engineers, IT professionals, and researchers in fields such as parallel and distributed computing, high performance computing, cluster computing, and grid computing. The book examines grid QoS aspects in various layers, including the fabric, resource, connectivity, collective, and application layers. Grid infrastructure, resource management, workflow organization and scheduling, service oriented architecture, and grid applications are some areas examined. Some specific topics discussed include ontology-based construction of grid data mining workflows, and optimization algorithms for data transfer in the grid environment. This book can also be used as reference book for postgraduate students in computer science. Wang is affiliated with the Institute of Scientific Computing, Germany.
