Title: Optimizing Performance and Reliability in Distributed Computing Systems Through Wide Spectrum Storage ServicesLogistical Networking promotes an innovative model of network storage that views data transmission and storage as part of a unified framework, just as military or industrial logistics view transportation lines and storage depots as coordinate elements of a single infrastructure. Under the Logistical Computing and Internetworking (LoCI) project, we have created and implemented a primitive abstraction of network storage, called the Internet Backplane Protocol (IBP) [43], as the lowest network layer in a "storage stack" for Logistical Networking. The goal of the proposed research is to test this hypothesis by creating a Logistical Runtime System (LoRS) designed to support advanced applications on a well-provisioned network of IBP-based storage, and then exploring its value and performance along several dimensions using real-world Grid applications.
