Abstract
OGSA-compliant Grid Computing has emerged as an important technology for large scale service sharing and integration. However, the management of massive, distributed, heterogeneous, and dynamic Grid services is becoming increasingly complex. This paper proposes a model of agent-enabling autonomic Grid service system to relieve the management burdens such as configuration, deployment, discovery, composition, and monitoring of Grid services. We adopt intelligent agents as autonomic elements to manage Grid services from two aspects: internal management and external transaction and cooperation. On the one hand, within an autonomic element (agent), goal-based planning and scheduling mechanism autonomously (re-) configures, and monitors the enforcement of, managed elements (Grid services or other agents). On the other hand, the automated discovery, negotiation, and contract-based service providing and monitoring among various agents treat with the relationships among autonomic elements.
