Title
Design, Implementation, and Evaluation of a Resource Management Multiagent System for a Multimedia Processing Grid
Abstract
This paper proposes marketplace-based agent architecture for Grid Resource Management that works on the application level. Relaying in FIPA as agent systems standard and Globus Toolkit as "de facto" middleware solution for Grid computing, we achieve the desired flexibility and modularity in order to provide a pluggable agent layer for a broader generic Grid Computing framework. The agents in the system use a utility table built previously to the system operation as information source for improving their negotiation abilities. It allows them to, given a state of the resources on the Grid, check the predicted performance of the possible configurations and select the best-rated values for some task execution parameters. We have implemented the architecture using JADE and have performed preliminary experiments consisting on multimedia processing for the conversion between video formats.
