Experiments with In-Transit Processing for Data Intensive Grid Workflows

Abstract

Efficient and robust data streaming and in-transit data manipulations are critical requirements of emerging scientific and engineering application workflows, which are based on seamless interactions and coupling between geographically distributed application components. The overall goal of this research is to address these requirements and develop a data streaming and in-transit data manipulation service. In this paper, we experimentally investigate reactive management strategies for in-transit data manipulation, as well as cooperative endto-end management for wide-area data-streaming and in-transit data manipulation for data-intensive scientific and engineering workflows.
