Abstract

Among all components of a grid or peer-to-peer application, the resources management is unavoidable Indeed, new resources like computational power or storage capacity must be quickly and efficiently integrated This management can be achieved either by a fully centralized way (BOINC) or by a hierarchical way (Globus, DIET) In the latter case, there is a greater flexibility and a greater scalability But the counterpart is the difficulty to design and to deploy such a solution, particularly if the resources are volatile. In this article, we combine random walks and circulating word to derive a fully distributed solution to the resources management Random walks have proved their efficiency in distributed computing and are well suited to dynamical networks like peer-to-peer or grid networks There is no condition on nodes lifetime and we need only one application for each node.
