  • Dynamic management of node clusters to enable data sharing
    Publication number: 20060074940
    Abstract: An active cluster is dynamically formed to perform a specific task. The active cluster includes one or more data owning nodes of at least one data owning cluster and one or more data using nodes of at least one data using cluster that are to access data of the data owning cluster. The active cluster is dynamic in that the nodes of the cluster are not statically defined. Instead, the active cluster is formed, when a need for such a cluster arises to satisfy a particular task.
