High Priority Requests in Grid Environment

Grid computing is an enhanced technology consisting of a pool of connected machines that belong to multiple organizations in different sites to form a distributed system. This system can be used to deal with complex scientific or business problems. It is developed to help share distributed resources that may be diverted in nature and solve many computing problems. The typical decentralized grid computing model faces many challenges, such as; different systems and software architectures, quickly handling the enormous amount of grid requesters, and finding the appropriate resources for the grid users. Some of the grid requests might need to get significant attention and fast response to the other requests. Usually, the Grid Broker (GB) works as a third party or mediator between grid service providers and grid service requesters. This paper introduced a new automated system that can help exploit the grid power, improve its functionality, and enhance its performance. This research presents a new architecture for the Grid Broker that can assist with high priority requests and be processed first. This system is also used to monitor and provision the grid providers' work during the job running. It uses a multi-agent system to facilitates its work and accomplish its tasks. The proposed approach is evaluated using the Jade simulator. The results show that using the proposed approach can enhance the way of dealing with high priority requests coming to the grid.
