Abstract

As Grids enlarge their boundaries and users, some of their functions should be decentralized to avoid bottlenecks and guarantee scalability. A way to provide Grid scalability is to adopt Peer-to-Peer (P2P) models to implement non hierarchical decentralized Grid services and systems. A core Grid functionality that can be effectively redesigned using the P2P approach is resource discovery. This paper proposes a P2P resource discovery architecture aiming to manage various Grid resources and complex queries. Its goal is two-fold: to address discovery of multiple resources, and to support discovery of dynamic resources and arbitrary queries in Grids. The architecture includes a scalable technique for locating dynamic resources in large-scale Grids. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed technique.
