Agents as Resource Brokers in Grids — Forming Agent Teams

  • Conference paper
Large-Scale Scientific Computing (LSSC 2007)

Abstract

Recently we have proposed an approach to utilizing agent teams as resource brokers and managers in the Grid. Thus far we have discussed the general overview of the proposed system, how to efficiently implement matchmaking services, as well as proposed a way by which agents select a team that will execute their job. In this paper we focus our attention on processes involved in agents joining a team.
