A Survey on Resource Management in Distributed System Using Ant Colony Optimization

This paper provides an overview of Resource Scheduling in Distributed System. Grid computing is an important and developing computing initiative that involves the aggregation of network connected computers to form a large-scale, distributed system for coordinated problem solving and resource scheduling. The primary concern associated with the grid computing is efficient management of resources, which is a challenging assignment due to distributed and heterogeneous nature of the resources. Resource scheduling is to select the appropriate resource for a particular task in such a way that overall efficiency can be achieved. This paper presents a review of resource management in distributed system. In this paper some of the popular heuristic resources management algorithms are discussed.
