摘要
This paper presents multi-economic agent for grid resource management. A system model is described that allows agents representing various grid resources and grid users to interact without assuming priori cooperation. The system model consists of three layers. The lower layer is the underlying grid resource. The middle layer is the agent-based grid resource management system. It consists of three types of agent and market institution that allocates resources. The grid task agents buy resources to complete tasks. Grid resource agents charge the task agents for the amount of resource capacity allocated. Grid resource agents are registered with a Grid Manager. The third layer is the user layer at which grid request agents provide interfaces to the grid user' request. The three processes involved in grid resource management are given. A price-directed algorithm for solving the grid task agent resource allocation problem is presented. A basic performance evaluation is given. Finally, some conclusions are given.
