Title
Measuring the quality of an artificial hormone system based task mapping
Abstract
The idea of Organic Computing is a trend to counter the problems arising from the fact that computing systems are getting smaller and smaller, and we will soon be surrounded by large numbers of little computers which will be hard to configure, maintain, and control. We reintroduce an organic middleware - the artificial hormone system (AHS) which can map tasks onto a grid of heterogeneous processing elements while providing the system with self-X properties and even guaranteeing upper bounds for the self-configuration and self-healing. This paper investigates the quality of task mappings on a grid of heterogeneous processing elements. An algorithm is proposed to measure the quality of such task mappings. Experiments with randomly generated configurations will show results of mappings done by our artificial hormone system and compare them with ordinary load balancing.
