Scalable Self-Organizing Model for Grid Resource Discovery

In order to build Grid resource sharing
environment, one of the basic problems is to locate one or more
entities (e.g. CPU, memory, OS, applications) that match a
provided description; this is called resource discovery process.
This paper proposes a model of Grid resource discovery that is
based on classifying the Grid nodes according to some resource
criteria. Each group has a leader (Head) that collects the
information of the group members (nodes). The paper also
proposes a resource discovery algorithm that optimizes
resource query on the Grid network. Discussion shows how this
model can satisfy the Grid resource discovery features such as:
decentralization, scalability, dynamism.
