FRCS: A File Replication and Consistency Service in Data Grids

In this paper, we propose a file replication and consistency service, called FRCS, for file maintenance in a data grid environment. Replicas will be adjusted to the appropriate location for using and anticipate striking a balance between improving data access performance and replica consistency in data grids. We propose the FRCS is aimed at overcoming the problem we proposed. And the experimental results show that the FRCS is more efficient than other replication strategies.
