Gara: a Uniform Quality of Service Architecture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many Grid applications, such as interactive and collaborative environments, can benefit from guarantees for resource performance or quality of service (QoS). Although QoS mechanisms have been developed for different types of resources, they are often difficult to use together because they have different semantics and interfaces. Moreover, many of them do not allow QoS requests to be made in advance of when they are needed. In this chapter, we describe GARA, which is a modular and extensible QoS architecture that allows users to make advance reservations for different types of QoS. We also describe our implementation of network QoS in detail.

A Distributed Resource Management Architecture that Supports Advance Reservations and Co-Allocation
The realization of end-to-end quality of service (QoS) guarantees in emerging network-based applications requires mechanisms that support first dynamic discovery and then advance or immediate reservation of resources that will often be heterogeneous in type and implementation and independently controlled and administered. We propose the Globus Architecture for Reservation and Allocation (GARA) ...
متن کاملG-QoSM: Grid Service Discovery Using QoS Properties
We extend the service abstraction in the Open Grid Services Architecture[12] for Quality of Service (QoS) properties. The realization of QoS often requires mechanisms such as advance or on-demand reservation of resources, varying in type and implementation, and independently controlled and monitored. Foster et al. propose the GARA [10] architecture. The GARA library provides a restricted repres...
متن کاملEnd-to-end quality of service for high-end applications
High-end networked applications such as distance visualization, distributed data analysis, and advanced collaborative environments have demanding quality of service (QoS) requirements. Particular challenges include concurrent flows with different QoS specifications, high bandwidth flows, application-level monitoring and control, and end-to-end QoS across networks and other devices. We describe ...

The IETF's recent di erentiated services architecture, which speci es a scalable mechanism for treating packets di erently, o ers new opportunities for building endto-end quality of service (QoS) systems. However, it also introduces new challenges. In particular, it is not clear whether TCP's ow and congestion control mechanisms work well with the mechanisms used for end-to-end QoS. For that re...
متن کاملAn Autonomic Service Oriented Architecture in Computational Engineering Framework
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOAmay often need to ...
