Survey of Resource Discovery in Grid Environments

Grid environment is an environment that consists of the large set of resources distributed among many locations. Hence, the problem of resource discovery can be profoundly complex due to the size and the complexity of Grid system. Hence, this is the challenging to explore the previous approaches which related with resource discovery in Grid system that can lead us to invent new works in the future. In this paper, we are interested in resource discovery algorithms which can search for the preferred resources quickly and efficiently (e.g. return the correct results quickly and reduce network complexity). Finally we analyze the Peer-to-Peer approach because it is a term used to describe the current trend toward utilizing the full resource available within a large distributed network. In addition, we need to evaluate the trend of applying resource discovery mechanisms of Peer-to-Peer technology using in Grid systems.
