Abstract

Dealing with a large amount of data in Data Grids makes the requirement for efficient data access more critical. In this paper, we proposed a new approach to replication problem by organizing the data into several data categories that it belongs to. This organizing will help improving placement strategy of data replication. We studied our approach in combination with scheduling issue and evaluating it through simulation. The result shows that our strategy has improved the scheduling performance by 30%.
