SGER: Collaborative Research: NMI Development (CISE): Self-Managing Distributed Virtual Environments

这个协作式SGER提案研究了运行分布式虚拟私有环境中的管理和自主操作问题。该提案将这种环境称为“VP-Grid”；在功能上，VP-Grid作为现有网格资源的覆盖层，并在模拟虚拟网格环境时根据资源和网络条件动态调整运行时。SGER提案引入了管理机制来支持与VP-Grid的创建和操作相关的功能。然后将使用动态蠕虫感染仿真程序评估这种“自我管理”环境。具体来说，研究任务包括：通过在虚拟VP-Grid内部和外部（即在底层网格资源上）实例化自我管理代理，探索特定于应用程序的管理策略规范和实施；根据应用程序驱动的条件和需求调查编排方法（缩放、重新定位和拓扑调整）的有效性；并基于真实的Internet蠕虫代码进行了系统仿真。

This collaborative SGER proposal investigates management and autonomic operational issues in running distributed virtual private environments. The proposal calls this environment a "VP-Grid"; organic in function, a VP-Grid acts as an overlay on top of existing grid resources and dynamically adjusts at run-time in response to resource and network conditions in emulating a virtual grid environment. The SGER proposal introduces management mechanisms to support functions associated with creation and operation of a VP-Grid. This "self-management" environment will then be evaluated using an emulation program for dynamic worm infection.Specifically, the research tasks are outlined to include: explore application-specific administration policy specification and enforcement through instantiation of self-management agents within the virtual VP-Grid and outside (i.e. on the underlying Grid resources); investigate effectiveness of orchestration methods (scaling, re-location and topology adjustment) by application-driven conditions and demands; and perform a system emulation based on a real Internet worm code.
