Towards an Agent Framework for Grid Computing

Overview This paper presents an agent oriented approach for grid computing. As opposed to existing approaches, agent technology promises a more flexible approach, easier installation and management of the agent framework, and better ability to autonomously recover from failures. The ontological, semantically rich description of the grid applications, services and resources open the possibility for better monitoring and resource management, and better user interfaces - both for the customers and the service providers.
