Successful resource discovery across heterogeneous repositories is highly dependent on the semantic and syntactic homogeneity of the associated resource descriptions in each repository. Ideally, consistent resource descriptions are easily extracted from each repository, expressed using standard syntactic and semantic structures, and managed and accessed within a distributed, flexible, and scala...

In this paper, we make some improvements on the domain-based resource discovery architecture and present a transparent-to-outside resource management framework (TRMF). Its uppermost characteristics are the different discovery modes for inside and outside resources, the interdomain transfer of aggregated resource information and the corresponding scheduling policy. These key mechanisms and main ...

We present an alternative algorithm of fully decentralized resource discovery in Grid computing, which enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of geographically distributed computational resources. Our algorithm is based on a simply unicast request transmission that can be easily implemented. The addition of a reservation algorithm can find more available matching reso...

Grid is an extensive environment in which different resources are dispersed geographically. A user may need a resource or a combination of resources in order to solve a problem. The task to find such a resource is borne by resource discovery algorithms. Therefore, the resource discovery algorithms are of high importance in grids. The methods proposed to resource discovery so far have not sugges...

This paper draws on the concept of natural resource curse theory, Dutch disease, to critically review impact Ghana’s oil discovery performance agricultural sector through a desk review. We also combed various directories for articles in academic journals, bulletins, governmental and non-governmental reports magazines any salient data topic. Drawing experiences other countries we argue that dwin...

A peer-to-peer(P2P) network consists of nodes that are capable of sharing resources and services with each other in a decentralized and distributed manner. A node joining a P2P network uses the node discovery protocol to discover other nodes already in the network. A node then uses the resource discovery protocol to distribute and acquire resources from other nodes in the network. Existing algo...
