This paper presents an extension of the AMBLE model, an awareness model which manage load balancing by means of a multi-agent based architecture, with the aim to establish a cooperative load balancing model for collaborative grid environments. This model, named C-AMBLE (Cooperative Awareness Model for Balancing the Load in grid Environments) applies some theoretical principles of multi-agents s...

The results of research into the use of a unified set of mechanisms to support store stability and concurrency control is presented. It is shown that the use and extension of the data structures already maintained by the system to support stability provides support for a novel approach to provision of cooperative concurrency control in persistent systems.
