Mining grid data is an interesting research field which aims at analyzing grid systems with data mining techniques in order to efficiently discover new meaningful knowledge to enhance grid management. In this paper, we focus particularly on how extracted knowledge enables enhancing data replication and replica selection strategies which are important data management techniques commonly used in data grids. Indeed, relevant knowledge such as file access patterns, file correlations, user or job access behavior, prediction of future behavior or network performance, and so on, can be efficiently discovered. These findings are then used to enhance both data replication and replica selection strategies. Various works in this respect are then discussed along with their merits and demerits. In addition, we propose a new guideline to data mining application in the context of data replication and replica selection strategies.
