Abstract
In this paper we describe iGrid, a novel Grid Information Service based on the relational model. iGrid is developed within the European GridLab project by the ISUFI Center for Advanced Computational Technologies (CACT) of the University of Lecce, Italy. Among iGrid requirements there are security, decentralized control, support for dynamic data and the possibility to handle user’s and/or application supplied information, performance and scalability. The iGrid Information Service has been specified and carefully designed to meet these requirements.
