Research on Resource Deployment of Grid Workflow

Because grid workflow requires users to choose grid services and to obviously show the exact location of each grid service for grid activities in the specification document of workflow process before execution of workflow. It becomes a critical issue for the optimized resource deployment how to choose more appropriate grid services for grid activities in the mass grid services, which have the same functionalities. Therefore, the resource framework of grid workflow is studied, and the features and application field of AHP are analyzed in this paper. AHP is very accorded with demand of resource deployment of grid workflow by the study, so a resource deployment algorithm for grid workflow based on AHP is provided to improve the performance of grid workflow.
