Combining Software Agents and Grid Middleware

چکیده
Recently, the Desktop-Grid ADaptive Application in Java (DG-ADAJ ) project has been unveiled. Its goal is to provide an environment which facilitates adaptive control of distributed applications written in Java for the Grid or the Desktop Grid. However, in its current state it can be used only in closed environments (e.g. within a single laboratory), as it lacks features that would make it ready for an “open Grid.” The aim of this paper is to show how the DG-ADAJ can be augmented by usage of software agents and ontologies to make it more robust.

An Asynchronous Middleware for Grid Resource Monitoring
Resource management in a Grid Computing environment raises several technical issues. The monitoring infrastructure must be scalable, flexible, configurable and adaptable to support thousands of devices in a highly dynamic environment where operational conditions are constantly changing. We propose to address these challenges by combining asynchronous communications with reflective component-bas...
متن کاملDemythicizing Network Agents
Network-centric computing is an emerging paradigm that requires minimal local resources and a high degree of connectivity to a structure similar with a power grid. Software agents are programs which autonomously pursue their own agenda. In this paper we discuss the use of software agents for network-centric computing. We attempt to dispell the myth that network agents provide miraculous solutio...
متن کاملSoftware Agents as Resource Brokers in Grid
It is a widely held belief that software agents will become the next revolution in information technology. One of the areas where they are expected to play an important role is the Grid. Claims to this effect, as well as research results can be found in work of B. diMartino, O. Rana, B. Prasad and others. In our work we have taken a different approach to these researchers and proposed that agen...
متن کاملService-oriented Ad Hoc grid computing
Subject of this thesis are the design and implementation of an ad hoc Grid infrastructure. The vision of an ad hoc Grid further evolves conventional serviceoriented Grid systems into a more robust, more flexible and more usable environment that is still standards compliant and interoperable with other Grid systems. A lot of work in current Grid middleware systems is focused on providing transpa...
متن کاملExploring virtualisation tools with a new virtualisation provisioning method to test dynamic grid environments for ALICE grid jobs over ARC grid middleware
The Nordic Tier-1 centre for LHC is distributed over several computing centres. It uses ARC as the internal computing grid middleware. ALICE uses its own grid middleware AliEn to distribute jobs and the necessary software application stack. To make use of most of the AliEn infrastructure and software deployment methods for running ALICE grid jobs on ARC, we are investigating different possible ...
