MAPFS: A Flexible Infrastructure for Data-Intensive Grid Applications

Grid computing has become one of the most important topics appeared and widely developed in the computing field in the last decade. One of the major goals of grid computing is to provide an efficient access to data, being data-intensive grid systems one of the most relevant grid applications. Existing data-intensive applications have been used in several domains, such as physics, climate modeling, biology or visualization. The I/O problem is not completely resolved in this kind of applications.
