Hi everybody,

I am a a Ph.D. student researching on mathematical modeling of grid resources and grid environments using Markov chains and Petri nets. I have modeled a single grid resource using Markov chains and calculated some useful performance measures for the resource. The model is a mathematical model and its correctness can be proven mathematically by tracing the formulas. Unfortunately, I have a problem with all the journals I am sending my papers to them. They have rejected my paper just because of lack of experimental data. They have emphasized that the model seems good but I should provide some experimental results regarding the applicability of the model to real world.

Now, I am looking for some experimental data about a grid resource. Actually, my model needs some data related to “global tasks arrival rate to the resource”, “local tasks arrival rate to the resource”, “resource processing speed (or the number of processors and their processing capabilities)”, “the failure and repair rate of the resource” and finally “the performance of the resource in the form of time spent to service the submitted global tasks”.

Hereby, I want to ask you all about the possibility of finding these measures or some related measures of a grid resource in internet. I would appreciate if somebody could help me in this regard and provide me with the related parameters or introduce me some resources on this matter.

Thank you.
