DObjects: Enabling Distributed Data Services for Metacomputing Platforms

Summary: DObjects extends metacomputing with a distributed mediator-wrapper layer for querying heterogeneous data sources. Its query engine dynamically and iteratively deploys subqueries using runtime knowledge of data, network, and node conditions to optimize response time and throughput.
