Middleware for Data Storage Resources Discovery and Dynamic Management in Grid Computing

The data grid has provided the emerging technology for constructing the ultra large-scale data storage and management in the grid computing. This paper presents a new kind of data grid middleware for data storage resources discovery and dynamic management in gird environment. The data grid middleware has the characteristics of self-adaptive software system structure. The architecture of grid storage resources discovery and dynamic management is presented for discovering data storage resources from the different computer organizational structure, the different grid, and different store medium in the grid. This middleware can realize the necessary functions for the ultra large-scale application in data grid environment. It could be applied to the ultra large-scale data storage management in grid computing in next generation internet.
