“…More recently, the Globus Project has defined a schema for a metacomputing directory service [6] that allows one to store metainformation about components that are installed on remote resources. Moreover, with the input of the Globus Project team, University of Tennessee researchers have completed a schema proposal to the Grid Forum [11].…”

Abstract. Grids comprise an infrastructure that enables scientists to use a diverse set of distributed remote services and resources as part of complex scientific problem-solving processes. We analyze some of the challenges involved in deploying software and components transparently in Grids. We report on three practical solutions used by the Globus Project. Lessons learned from this experience lead us to believe that it is necessary to support a variety of software and component deployment strategies. These strategies are based on the hosting environment.

“…given a flat set of attribute values find all tuples that carry exactly the same attribute values) are assumed in systems such as SDS [27] and Jini [28]. Others such as LDAP [29] and MDS [30] consider simple queries from a hierarchical namespace. None support rich and expressive general-purpose query languages such as XQuery [20] and SQL [31].…”

Abstract. In a large distributed system spanning many administrative domains such as a Data Grid, it is desirable to maintain and query dynamic and timely information about active participants such as services, resources and user communities. However, in such a database system, the set of information tuples in the universe is partitioned over many distributed nodes, for reasons including autonomy, scalability, availability, performance and security. It is not obvious how to enable general-purpose discovery query support and collective collaborative functionality that operate on the distributed system as a whole, rather than on a given part of it. Further, it is not obvious how to allow for search results that are fresh, allowing dynamic content. It appears that a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) database network may be well suited to support dynamic distributed database search, for example for service discovery. In this paper, we devise the Unified Peer-to-Peer Database Framework (UPDF), which allows to express specific applications for arbitrary query languages (e.g. XQuery, SQL) and node topologies, and a wide range of data types, query response modes (e.g. Routed, Direct and Referral Response), neighbor selection policies, pipelining characteristics, timeout and other scope options.
