Abstract

Grid computing can be defined as coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multiinstitutional collaborations [1]. As more Grids are deployed worldwide, the number of multi-institutional collaborations is rapidly growing. However, for Grid computing to realize its full potential, it is expected that Grid participants are able to use one another resources. Resource negotiation (i.e. exchange or trading of resources between Grids) enables Grid participants to face an unstable request environment.The aim of this position paper is to present a survey of the current state and challenges of resource negotiation research, with a Machine Learning perspective. We support the view that negotiation and learning are intrinsically linked. In particular, we show the expected benefits of integrating Machine Learning techniques with resource negotiation.
