Automatic Grid Assembly by Promoting Collaboration in Peer-to-Peer Grids

Tags:
network design

Overview Currently, most computational grids (systems allowing transparent sharing of computing resources across organizational boundaries) are assembled using human negotiation. This procedure does not scale well, and is too inflexible to allow for large open grids. Peer-to-peer grids present an alternative way to build grids with many sites. However, to actually assemble a large grid, peers must have an incentive to provide resources to the system. This paper presents an incentive mechanism called the Network of Favors, which makes it in the interest of each participating peer to contribute its spare resources.
