Improvements in data Grid replication algorithms may be critical in many of these infrastructures. This paper shows a decentralized replica optimization service, providing a general Emergent Artificial Intelligence (EAI) algorithm for the problem definition. Our aim is to set up a theoretical framework for emergent heuristics in Grid environments. Further, we describe two EAI approaches, the Particle Swarm Optimization PSO-Grid Multiswarm Federation and the Ant Colony Optimization ACO-Grid Asynchronous Colonies Optimization replica optimization algorithms, with some examples. We also present extended results with best performance and scalability features for PSO-Grid Multiswarrn Federation.", optnote="ISI:000279804200004", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=411), last updated on Thu, 01 Nov 2012 20:02:41 +0000", issn="0167-739x", doi="10.1016/j.future.2010.03.007", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2010.03.007", language="English" }
