Grid middleware component, Replica Location Service, provides information about location of data sets within the data grid. EDG and Globus (with EDG) have both developed implementations of RLS. Grid3 uses the Globus-EDG implementation
Replica Location Service. A distributed registry that keeps track of where replicas exist on physical storage systems. The job of the RLS is to maintain associations, or mappings, between logical names for data objects and one or more target or physical names for replicas. Users or services register data items in the RLS and query RLS servers to find replicas. (RLS)

Restless Leg Syndrome. RLS is a movement disorder in which a child experiences uncomfortable sensations in the legs during rest or sitting still (commonly when trying to fall asleep). The sensations are often described as creepy, crawly, tingling or painful. Children with RLS usually have an "uncontrollable" urge to move their legs (stretching, walking or running, and / or tossing and turning). Rubbing the legs may relieve discomfort.

Restless legs syndrome. A disorder characterized by sensations in the legs which compel movement. The sensations most often described as “creepy-crawlyâ€, itchy, achy, prickly or boring. Typically, RLS does not involve pain. This disorder is most common in middle and older ages and affects 10-15% of the US population. RLS is most annoying at night and can cause trouble falling asleep, and/or repeated awakenings. RLS sufferers describe symptoms that are made worse by relaxation and which are relieved by activity. There are numerous causes for RLS such as intake of stimulants (including caffeine), side effects of some medications (i.e. beta blockers and antidepressants), alcohol, pregnancy, drug withdrawal, anemia, and chronic liver or kidney failure. Chronic venous insufficiency also appears to be a secondary cause of RLS. Many patients report improvement in or disappearance of their RLS symptoms after having saphenous vein ablation. Medications are also available for treatment of RLS.
