|
Since participants in a computational Grid may be
independent bodies, some mechanisms are necessary
for resolving their differences. The contribution of this
work is designing a bargaining protocol for agents
representing Grid participants in negotiating for
computational resources. The protocol in this work
discerns from existing protocols because agents in this
work are programmed to follow a set of fuzzy rules for
relaxing bargaining terms with the hope of increasing
their chance of successfully acquiring resources before
their deadlines. This relaxed-criteria bargaining
protocol and an agent-based testbed for simulating
Grid resource allocation were implemented in Java
1.5. A series of simulations was carried out using the
testbed, and favorable (preliminary) empirical results
show that following the relaxed-criteria bargaining
protocol, agents achieved higher success rates in
negotiating for resources.
