Abstract

We deal with the problem of preference-based matchmaking of computational resources belonging to a Grid. We introduce CP---Nets, a recent development in the field of Artificial Intelligence, as a means to deal with user's preferences in the context of Grid scheduling. We discuss CP---Nets from a theoretical perspective and then analyze, qualitatively and quantitatively, their impact on the matchmaking process, with the help of a Grid simulator we developed for this purpose. Many different experiments have been setup and carried out, and we report here our main findings and the lessons learnt.
