One of the great challenges for this environment is to provide efficient access to data that is distributed across remote data servers in a grid. In this paper, we describe our solution, a framework we call Armada. Armada allows applications to flexibly compose modules to access their data, and to place those modules at appropriate hosts within the grid to reduce network traffic.}, }
