QoS-GRAF: A Framework for QoS Based Grid Resource Allocation With Failure Provisioning

Overview For a long time grid computing was viewed as the key technology for harnessing the compute power of high performance virtual supercomputers connected across a WAN. However, with the emergence of the utility grid computing paradigm, it has become increasingly desirable for organizations worldwide to improve efficiency by outsourcing their business processes, and for providers to supply grid capacity with the primary goals of charging for service usage and high utilization of shareable computing. Differentiated pricing schemes offered by customers, associated with different levels of QoS expectations, empower the provider with the capability of business revenue maximization by way of quality of service differentiation. The authors outline some of the key design issues involved in providing business profit maximization for grid service providers.
