Abstract

As distributed network has become a large-scale environment such as grid computing, software resource management is rising as the key issue. There are a lot of solutions to manage hardware and task resources in distributed computing environments. There also are many other types of resources such as software resources. However there are few solutions to manage these resources. In this paper, we propose to design, implement, and evaluate a new resource management system, which manages software resources effectively. This system uses application virtualization technology to manage software resources. This system greatly reduces traditional software deployment costs and associated installation problems in distributed computing environments. We conducted an experiment to show how the system works well. In this system, an added node can also execute a requested job without installation of applications.
