Scalable Resource Management and Load Assignment for Grid and Peer-to-Peer Services

In this paper we propose DRMI, a fully decentralized, highly scalable and efficient resource management infrastructure, which is built on top of prefix-based DHT. DRMI provides large-scale resource monitoring and management for arbitrary metadata in variational Grid and peer-to-peer environment. DRMI monitors resources with their natural organizations and can trace them in a wide scope from large aggregations to a single resource. Based on DRMI we also propose “gradual-decision” principle and algorithm, which is consistent with requirement of self-organizing or autonomy in distributed system management. Using gradual-decision we can accomplish variety of and programmable resource management, e.g. the balanced load assignment.
