Abstract
This paper describes algorithms and software architecture of a resource broker designed in the context of MedIGrid, a medical imaging application for the management, visualization and reconstruction on grids of medical images produced by PET/SPECT medical instruments. The broker allows the discovery and selection of suitable clusters of workstations for the execution of parallel image reconstruction algorithms. The proposed algorithms and software architecture are general with respect to possible application domains and are potentially useful in different grid environments.
