Use of Agent-Based Service Discovery for Resource Management in Metacomputing Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new methodology is presented in this paper for resource management in a metacomputing environment using a hierarchy of homogeneous agents that has the capability of service discovery. The PACE [6] tools are used to provide quantitative data concerning the performance of sophisticated applications running on local high performance resources. At metacomputing level, an agent hierarchy is used to model the resource management system, and the implementation of resource management, scheduling, and allocation can be abstracted to the processes of service advertisement and service discovery. Different optimisation strategies can be used to improve the performance of the agent system.

Performance Evaluation of an Agent-Based Resource Management Infrastructure for Grid Computing
Resource management is an important infrastructure in the grid computing environment. Scalability and adaptability are two key challenges in the implementation of such complex software systems. In this work we introduce a new model for resource management in a metacomputing environment using a hierarchy of homogeneous agents that has the capability of service discovery. The performance of the a...
متن کاملWeighted-HR: An Improved Hierarchical Grid Resource Discovery
Grid computing environments include heterogeneous resources shared by a large number of computers to handle the data and process intensive applications. In these environments, the required resources must be accessible for Grid applications on demand, which makes the resource discovery as a critical service. In recent years, various techniques are proposed to index and discover the Grid resource...

متن کاملFormalizing Service Publication and Discovery in Grid Computing Systems
Considering the autonomy of resources in the grid environment and based on the service-oriented thought, a resource management system for grid computing can be abstracted to a multi-agent system that consists of service requestor agents, service provider agents and service broker agents. For looking into the interaction characteristics of agents, the formal method is adopted. Firstly, we presen...
