A New Grid Resource Discovery Framework

Resource discovery (RD) is an important key issue in grid systems since resource reservation and task scheduling
are based on it. This paper proposes a novel semantic-based scalable decentralized grid RD framework. The paper integrates
ontology, peer-to-peer (P2P) network and intelligent agents to build the framework. The framework consists of an ontology
model, an agent model, and a set of algorithms for implementing the P2P architecture and searching the shared resources.
The paper shows how the framework satisfies grid RD features such as scalability, decentralization, dynamism and
interoperability.
