Utilizing Multi-Agent Systems in Grid Environments

Grid Computing refers to systems and applications that incorporate and control distributed services and resources to resolve systematic or industrial issues. Over the past few years, developers have realized the need for an automatic mechanism that can be used in employing the grid power, improving its operating and enhancing its production. Multi-Agents Systems are generally employed to solve problems by using decentralized techniques by a set of agents collaborate to resolve a challenge. Hence, it is considered suitable solutions for open systems that change frequently. In this paper, we propose a modern architecture that utilizes a Multi Agent System not only to help in choosing the best resources but also to generate the negotiation protocol between the grid users and providers to fully deploy the capacity of grid computing. Moreover, the proposed architecture can play the main role in monitoring the list of users' jobs as they are being handled.
