Market-Oriented Grid and Utility Computing
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Nov 2009, Pages: 643
The first single-source reference covering the state of the art in grid and utility computing economy research
This book presents the first integrated, single-source reference on market-oriented grid and utility computing. Divided into four main parts—and with contributions from a panel of experts in the field—it systematically and carefully explores:
- Foundations—presents the fundamental concepts of market-oriented computing and the issues and challenges in allocating resources in a decentralized computing environment.
- Business models—covers business models for service providers and brokers supporting different types of distributed applications, as well as business rules-based models for managing virtual organizations and accounting operations and services in grid computing environments.
- Policies and agreements—introduces policies, agreements, and specifications for the negotiation and establishment of contracts between providers and consumers. It also covers different approaches for resource allocation based on service-level agreements (SLAs) and management of risks associated with SLA violations.
- Resource allocation and scheduling mechanisms—covers economic models, such as commodity models, reciprocation, auctions, and game theory, and middleware technologies, such as Nimrod/G and Gridbus, for market-oriented grid computing and utility-oriented resource allocation.
This book expertly captures the state of the art in the field while also identifying potential research directions and technologies that will facilitate the creation of global commercial grid and utility computing systems. It is an indispensable reference for systems architects, practitioners, developers, new researchers, and graduate students.
This book presents the first coordinated and integrated single-source reference on market-oriented grid computing. The need for this book is supported by the increasing number of initiatives aiming to interconnect or globalize current grid systems. Researchers have built many research Grid infrastructures, mostly with support from funding agencies. As soon as the projects terminate and funding ends, there is general concern that the infrastructure and the results will not survive. The main reason for this is the lack of proven models for sustainability, including market strategies, grid economy, service level agreements and business models. These are the topics that are presented in this book by leading experts in these fields.
