Grid Resource Discovery And Monitoring Model Based On Mobile Agent

Grid resources discovery and monitoring is the core problem of grid. In grid computing environment, there are all kinds of dynamic resources available. They are distributed, heterogeneous and could join or leave different virtual organizations dynamically. So how to find grid resources, how to monitor the status of grid resources, how to take advantage of them by grid application is the problem which must be solved.Firstly, this paper introduces the basic concept of grid, research status, and developing trend, analyzes the most popular computing grid project - Globus. Then it puts forward the Grid Resource Discovery and Monitoring Model based on Mobile Agent, and specifies the design ideology, architecture, system structures of every modules and security strategy. At last, it compares the model with the Globus Monitoring and Discovery Service completely, and draws a conclusion.Grid Resource Discovery and Monitoring Model based on Mobile Agent is different from network monitoring and network management. It innovates to use mobile agent to solve the problem of Grid Monitoring, not only with veracity and efficiency, but also with expansibility. In a word, the model has research and commercial value.
