ENHANCED REPLICA SELECTION TECHNIQUE FOR BINDING REPLICA SITES IN DATA GRIDS

across many sites in different geographical locations primarily to improve data access and transfer performance. When different sites hold a copy of the files, there are significant benefits realized when selecting the best set of sites that cooperate to speed up the file transfer process. In this paper, we describe a new optimization technique used to reduce total file transferring time by applying a Pincer-Search algorithm of Data mining approach to discover associated distributed replicas sites to share the transferring file process
