On Architecture of the Economic-aware Data Grid

Data Grid has been adopted as the nextgeneration platform by many scientific communities to share, access, transport, process, and manage large data collections distributed worldwide. The increasing popularity of Data Grid as a solution for large dataset issues as well as large-scale processing problems promises the adoption of many organizations that have a great demand at this moment. This requires applying innovative business model to conventional Data Grid. In this paper, we propose a business model based on outsourcing approach and a framework called the Economic-aware Data Grid that takes the responsibilities of coordinating operations. The framework works in an economic-aware way to minimize the cost of the organization.
