NGS: Agent Oriented Approaches to a Ubiquitous Grid

面向Agent的无所不在网格方法在计算和网络硬件层面，我们将在未来几年看到巨大的变化。计算机将变得无处不在。这些发展将导致无线网络的发展，无线网络将从自组织体域网络扩展到卫星广域网，并将超级计算机、“掌上电脑”和嵌入式传感器和控制器连接在一起。在这种情况下，我们提出的研究将寻求通过使计算网格无处不在和无处不在来扩展计算网格。特别是，我们将开发基于代理的运行时系统，其中每个组件都是自治的、清晰的、社交的和自适应的。这样的系统将无缝地将计算划分到从掌上电脑到超级计算机的网格元素之间。我们将研究的问题包括(i)组件/服务发现，（ii）组件的动态组合，以及（iii）跨高度不对称和异构系统的计算分区。

EIA-0203958 Anupam Joshi University of Maryland-Baltimore County Agent Oriented Approaches to a Ubiquitous GridAt the level of computing and networking hardware we will see dramatic changes in the next few years. Computing will become pervasive. These developments will lead to wireless networks that will scale all the way from ad hoc body area networks to satellite WANs, and link together supercomputers, "palmstations" and embededded sensors & controllers.Given this scenario, our proposed research will seek to extend the computational grid by making it ubiquitous and pervasive. In particular, we will develop agent based runtime systems where each component is autonomous, articulate, social and adaptive. Such a system will seamlessly partition computation across elements of the grid ranging from palmtops to supercomputers. Issues that we will investigate include (i) Component/Service Discovery, (ii) Dynamic Composition of components, and (iii) computation partition across highly asymmetric and heterogeneous systems.
