A Grid Service for Resource-to-Agent Allocation

The Resource Allocation problem is a classical problem in the scientific literature,. Here, authors present all Architectural Model to allow Optimum Resource Allocation in a Grid Environment. They are are investigating a decentralized approach to address this problem into an inter-Grid nodes context; instead They argue in favor of a centralized approach in an intra-Grid node context (i.e., a cluster architecture). Furthermore, authors aim to implement integration between Multi-Agent and Grid systems, in order to deal with the execution of agent-based applications in a Grid Environment. The paper focuses on a Condor based solution for Resource to Agent Allocation in an intra-Grid node context. The prototypal implementation is described, which has been integrated in Grid middleware as Grid service.
