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 fut...

Peer-to-peer networks are distributed computing infrastructures that can provide globally available network resources. Their size and complexity continue to increase and permit an almost ubiquitous availability of resources. Therefore, new discovery approaches are required and need to be highly flexible in order to cope with a dynamically changing environment. In this paper, a distributed agent...

Resource discovery is an integral part of many kinds of computing environments, including emerging heterogeneous environments for pervasive computing. This paper characterises a number of current and future computing environments and summarises their resource discovery requirements. It then analyses, with respect to the requirements of each environment, several established service discovery pro...

Resource Discovery in Grids is critical for efficient resource allocation and management. Heterogeneous nature and dynamic availability of resources make resource discovery a challenging task. As numbers of nodes are increasing from tens to thousands, scalability is essentially desired. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) techniques, on the other hand, provide effective implementation of scalable services and a...

In grid environment, users look for a suitable resource capable of executing a given task. Resource brokers / schedulers are intermediaries, who provide service to the grid users. In the existing resource brokers / schedulers, when the exact match for the requested resource is not available, resource discovery have to be terminated unsuccessfully or the process should wait in the queue till the...

In this paper we present efficient algorithmic solutions for several constrained resource allocation, management and discovery problems. We consider new types of resource allocation models and constraints, and we present new geometric techniques which are useful when the resources are mapped to points into a multidimensional feature space. We also consider a resource discovery problem for which...

As pervasive computing becomes a reality, users will be able to interact with computing services which will all work together in a seamlessly integrated system. Resource discovery is a key feature of pervasive computing which allows users simple and convenient access to resources. While there are several resource discovery systems in existence which are essential to pervasive computing, the sup...
