Managing grid messaging middleware

Management in distributed systems has gained much importance in recent years. With the increasing complexity of applications, there is a need for effective management of components of the application. As application components span different administrative domains, differing security policies restrict access to these components. The problem gets more complicated in a dynamic environment where application components and the environment is in a constant state of flux, so that failure is the norm. In this paper we explore the issues related to management in dynamic and heterogeneous environments. We propose a scalable, fault-tolerant and Web services - compliant management architecture that addresses these issues of management and also illustrate the functioning of our framework with respect to the NaradaBrokering messaging middleware
