Abstract
- Data Grid integrates geographically distributed resources for solving data sensitive scientific applications. Dynamic data replication algorithms are becoming increasingly valuable in solving large-scale, realistic, difficult problems, and selecting replica with multiple selection criteria-availability, security and time- is one of these problems. The current algorithms do not offer balanced QoS levels and the mechanism of rating QoS parameters. In this paper, we propose a new replica selection strategy, which based on response time and security. However, replication should be used wisely because the storage size of each Data Grid site is limited. Thus, the site must keep only the important replicas. We also present a new replica replacement strategy based on the availability of the file, the last time the replica was requested, number of access, and size of replica. We evaluate our algorithm using the OptorSim simulator and find that it offers better performance in comparison with other algorithms in terms of mean job execution time, effective network usage, SE usage, replication frequency, and hit ratio.
