This paper focuses on how to model grid resource and locate grid resource using efficient and scaleable protocol under a grid environment. A mathematic model of grid physical resource space and logical resource space is built based concept of virtual organization. Then, a mathematical method based the binary equivalent relation is presented to divide grid physical resource space. Then, this pap...

Grid environments, providing distributed infrastructures, computing resources and data storage, usually show a high degree of heterogeneity and change in their metadata. We propose a platform for collaborative management and maintenance of common metadata for grids. As the conceptual foundation of this platform, a meta model is presented which distinguishes structured descriptions and classific...
