A resource broker is an essential component in a grid environment that can assist in the selection of a right resource provider for a job in all aspects. In this paper we present the design and implementation of different phases of resource brokering strategies within a multi-agent framework. These strategies help in finding out an optimal usage of resources for executing multiple concurrent jobs in a grid environment. The paper also presents preliminary results and demonstrates the effectiveness of our strategies.
