Brucellosis affects millions of animals and humans world-wide; in humans, over 500,000 new cases are reported annually. Although some vaccines are available for its prevention in animals, none exist for humans...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Existing data management solutions fail to adequately support data management needs at the inter-grid (interoperability) level. We describe a possible solution, a transparent grid filesystem, and consider in d...

This paper examines the availability of grid infrastructures, describes the principles of transactional grid deployment, outlines the design and implementation of a transactional deployment system for the Grid...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Grid-Ireland is unusual in its integrated infrastructure, and the stress that is laid on homogeneity of its core. The major benefit is the decoupling of site details from the core infrastructure, and the resul...
