---+ !GridTorrent !GridTorrent is an implementation of the popular !BitTorrent protocol designed to interface and integrate with well-defined and deployed !Data !Grid components and protocols (e.g. !GridFTP, !RLS). Just like !BitTorrent, !GridTorrent is based on peer-to-peer techniques, that allow clients to download files from multiple sources while uploading them to other users at the same time, rather than obtaining them from a central server. By dividing files into fragments, !GridTorrent can combine the best out of the two protocols: * It exploits !BitTorrent's peer and fragment selection , thus providing an optimized data transfer service. * It takes advantage of the striped version of !GridFTP protocol, as it has the ability to directly communicate with !GridFTP servers, thus being backwards compatible. ---++ Publications * Athanasia Asiki, Katerina Doka, Ioannis Konstantinou, Antonis Zissimos, and Nectarios Koziris *"A Distributed Architecture for Multi-Dimensional Indexing and Data Retrieval in Grid Environments"* In _Proceedings of the Cracow 2007 Grid Workshop (CGW'07)_, Krakow, Polland, October 16-17, 2007 ![[[http://www.cyfronet.pl/cgw07/index.html][link]]] * Ioannis Konstantinou, Katerina Doka, Athanasia Asiki, Antonis Zissimos, and Nectarios Koziris *"Gredia Middleware Architecture"* In _Proceedings of the Cracow 2007 Grid Workshop (CGW'07)_, Krakow, Polland, October 16-17, 2007 ![[[http://www.cyfronet.pl/cgw07/index.html][link]]] * A.
