Abstract

Grid computing is becoming a mainstream technology for large-scale distributed resource sharing and system integration. One of the most important grid services is workflow management. Grid workflow applications are also emerging as one of the most interesting application classes for the grid. In this paper, we give an introduction to our agent-based grid workflow management system (AGWMS). AGWMS has a four-layer framework. It bases on the adapter middleware and uses a multi-agent platform to make the system more robust, flexible and intelligent. Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning technology is also utilized to generate the agent plan automatically. Our AGWMS is a novel one.
