Ant-Based Resource Aggregation in a P2P Grid

The grid technology enables large-scale sharing and collaboration use of networked resource. Using P2P technology, grid system can have better scalability and dynamic. OGSA (open grid service architecture) provides a framework for integrating P2P technology into grid system. However, grid resource aggregation is a key issue for P2P grid. In this paper, ant-based resource aggregation algorithm is proposed to aggregate grid resource in P2P grid environment. Theoretical analysis and simulations prove that ant-based resource aggregation algorithm in P2P grid can improve the performance of resource aggregation.
