摘要

Allocating resources in grid computing requires local and external schedulers to communicate in order to achieve an efficient management of the resources themselves. To this end, some economic/market-based models have been introduced in the literature, where users, external schedulers, and local schedulers negotiate to optimize their objectives. In this paper, we propose a tender/contract-net model for the grid resource allocation problem, showing the interactions among the involved actors. The performance of the proposed market-based approach is experimentally compared with a round-robin allocation protocol, a system-centric least-cost allocation approach, and also a market-based approach available from the literature.
