Agent-Based Negotiation for Resource Allocation in Grid

Overview Grid technology allows the sharing of resources within groups of individuals or organizations. A job submission in grid initially requires the identification of a list of servers that meet a certain job description. After, it is necessary to select the best server from this list. None of current researches associates the choice of the server with the service delivery conditions. In order to incorporate quality to the grid service it is important to know when the job will finish and what are the cost and quality factors involved. This paper presents here a Multi-Agent System that chooses the best place to run a grid job by making use of negotiation.
