Context-Aware Cache Management in Grid Middleware

This paper focuses on context-aware data management services in grids with the aim of constructing self-adaptive middleware. The contribution is twofold. First it proposes a framework to facilitate the development of context management services. The reason is that, even a context management service, is context specific. The creation of ad-hoc context managers is crucial. Second, this papers introduces context awareness in cooperative semantic caches. Preliminary results of our experiments on the Grid5000 platform are reported.
