OptorSim is a Grid simulator designed to test dynamic replication strategies used in optimising data location within a Grid. Each simulated site contains several storage or computing elements. Simulated jobs run and file accesses may trigger replication.
A java framework for developing meta-heuristics that supports the use of grids environments. The meta-heuristics planned to be realeased are GAs, VNS and NNs. The grid middleware that will be firstly explored is the OurGrid solution.
