Abstract

Resource management has been an area of research in ad hoc grids for many years. Recently, different research projects have focused resource management in centralized, decentralized or in a hybrid manner. In this paper, we discuss a micro economic based, hybrid resource discovery mechanism. The proposed mechanism focuses on the extension of a structured overlay network to manage the (dis)appearance of matchmakers in the grid and to route the messages to the appropriate matchmaker in the ad hoc grid. The mechanism is based on the emergent behavior of the participating nodes and adapts with respect to changes in the ad hoc grid environment. Experiments are executed on PlanetLab to test the scalability and robustness of the proposed mechanism. Simulation results show that our mechanism performs better than previously proposed mechanisms.
