Paper Abstract:
|
Computational GRIDs are designed to bring together collections of resources distributed among diverse physical locations, allowing an individual to exploit a huge amount of computing power, specialist instruments and vast databases. It is essential that an effective method of resource discovery is available for users and agents to find the resources they require. We present an initial model for resource discovery in GRID environments, designed to remove the need for broadcast of updates and queries across the network whilst providing a fault-tolerant environment minimising the impact failure of a centralised index node would have on the ability to discover surviving resources. |
