      abstract     = {An information system is an essential part of every Grid
                      system since it provides information about the entities
                      (services, resources, user, etc.) a Grid consists of. The
                      information provided by such a system may serve a variety of
                      needs. It can for example be used for brokering purposes, to
                      schedule workflows, to orchestrate services, or to predict
                      the performance of a Grid. Such use cases very much
                      determine the information model and the design of the
                      information service. In this thesis, I present an open
                      standard, platform-agnostic, and web services based
                      information service. Since a Grid information service
                      consolidates disseminated information of diversified Grid
                      entities, the modeling of this information has a large
                      impact on the Grid information service while executing its
                      business functions. In this thesis, I formalize a resource
                      schema which models an elementary concepts required to
                      represent significant Grid entities. The question of
                      reliability and fault tolerance is often not properly
                      answered when it comes to the realization of distributed
                      systems, although the deployment of any system in a
                      distributed environment shows that those factors are of
                      utmost importance. As the Grid information service developed
                      during the diploma theses will be deployed in a
                      highly-distributed Grid, and is one of the essential
                      services for the Grid to operate properly, it is expected to
                      satisfy certain reliability criteria. In this thesis, I
                      present a reliability aspect of Grid information service
                      through a multi-tier replication infrastructure by focusing
                      on its architectural and implementation details.},
