GReIC data gather service: a step towards P2P production grids

Current production Grids involve hundreds of sites and thousands of machines. In this context, P2P solutions are well suited - with regard to existing centralized and hierarchical approaches - to implement highly scalable, decentralized, reliable and manageable grid services. In this paper we describe the GReIC Data Gather Service from an architectural and technological point of view. This service has been developed within the Grid Relational Catalog (GReIC) Project, at the Center for Advanced Computational Technologies (CACT) of the University of Lecce. The GReIC Data Gather architecture aims at integrating transparently and securely distributed and geographically spread heterogeneous grid data sources through Data Gather Service nodes connected in a P2P fashion.
