Abstract

Distributed computing systems are composed of various types and sizes of resources. Providing a reliable and efficient distributed computing environment largely depends on the effective management of these resources. ISO has begun work on a proposed standard for Open Distributed Processing (ODP). The ODP framework includes a mechanism called the Trader which provides a framework for exchanging services in an open distributed computing environment. This paper presents a design of Trader-Based Resource Management System (TBRMS) which employs and extends the ODP Trader concept to the management of general resources in distributed computing systems. We describe its architecture, information model, and user interface. We also present an implementation effort of its prototype which uses the X.500 Directory Service as its resource information repository.
