The grid is a promising infrastructure that can allow scientists and engineers to access resources among geographically distributed environments. Grid computing is a new technology which focuses on aggregating resources (e.g., processor cycles, disk storage, and contents) from a large-scale computing platform. Making grid computing a reality requires a resource broker to manage and monitor available resources. This paper presents a workflow-based resource broker whose main functions are matching available resources with user requests and considering network information statuses during matchmaking in computational grids. The resource broker provides a graphic user interface for accessing available and the appropriate resources via user credentials. This broker uses the Ganglia and NWS tools to monitor resource status and network-related information, respectively. Then we propose a history-based execution time estimation model to predict the execution time of parallel applications, according to previous execution results. The experimental results show that our model can accurately predict the execution time of embarrassingly parallel applications. We also report on using the Globus Toolkit to construct a grid platform called the TIGER project that integrates resources distributed across five universities in Taichung city, Taiwan, where the resource broker was developed.
