Description
Summary:Geographically distributed applications in grid computing environments are becoming more and more resource intensive. Many applications require the collaboration between different domains, may be independently administrated domains, to exchange data and share computing and storage resources. This collaboration should be done in a way that maintains the privacy of each participant domain. This calls for new architectures and approaches to deal with such multidomain environments. We propose a hierarchical-based architecture as well as multidomain hierarchical resource allocation approach. The resource allocation is performed in a distributed way among different domains such that each participant domain keeps its internal topology and private data hidden while sharing abstracted information with other domains. Both computing and networking resources are jointly scheduled while optimizing the application completion time taking into account data transfer delays. Simulation results show the scalability and feasibility of the proposed approach.
