WS-ReplicationResource: Replicated Resources in Grid Environments

This paper presents the √N + ROWA model that is been develop at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid with the aim of replicating information in Grid environments and optimizing the number of messages to be exchanged in the process. Our approach is one of the key stones of a new grid service (WS-ReplicationResource) that in the near future will provide Grid systems with a high level of transancionality of actions to be carried out inside the environment.
