Abstract

Grid Computing is rapidly changing the computing infrastructure and has led to the possibility of using wide-area distributed computers for solving large-scale problems. However, the resources in the Grid are geographically distributed and owned by multiple organizations with different usage, cost policies, varying loads and availability. The sharing and use of resources in such a large and distributed environment is a complex task. In this paper, a multi-agent system for Grid Computing is presented to coordinate resource sharing and solve problems in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. The multi-agent system architecture and autonomous agents negotiation mechanism are discussed in detail. This multi-agent system provides decentralized resource management and sharing capability and is adaptable to changes in the environment and user requirements. It is a scalable, controllable, load balancing, and easily understandable system for sharing and use of wide-area distributed resources.
