Abstract
Resource discovery is one of the basic and key aspects in grid resource management, which aims at searching for the suitable resources for satisfying the requirement of users’ applications. This paper introduces an agent-based brokering protocol which connects users and providers in grid environments. In particular, it focuses on addressing the problem of connecting users and providers. A connection algorithm that matches advertisements of users and requests from providers based on pre-specified multiple criteria is devised and implemented. The connection algorithm mainly consists of four stages: selection, evaluation, filtering, and recommendation. A series of experiments that were carried out in executing the protocol, and favorable results were obtained.
