Abstract
The computational grid built on wide-area distributed computing systems is a more variable and unreliable computing environment, hence it is undoubtedly important to analyze its availability. In our opinion, the availability of such an open computing environment should be analyzed from the applications’ perspective. In this paper, we propose an application specific availability analysis method for computational grid, then present a measurement model for the applications’ availability. This model abstracts the key factors that affect the availability of applications in the computational grid.
