Multi-agent systems for advanced semantic grid computing

网格计算是一种分布式系统，它能够共享、选择和聚合分布式资源和服务，以解决不同领域的大规模问题：科学、商业等。网格计算的目标是通过将资源聚集在一起，为基于协作的计算和问题解决提供可靠的方法和安全的环境。为了充分发挥这一新兴技术的潜力，网格计算越来越被认为配备了关于资源、服务、客户、提供商等的语义信息。在这一领域的现代研究中，重点不仅是网络化和高性能的计算基础设施，而且还包括信息处理和对知识的支持。因此，语义网格计算作为当前网格的延伸应运而生。

Grid computing is a type of distributed system that enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of distributed resources and services in order to tackle large-scale problems in different fields: science, business, etc... Grid computing aims at providing reliable approaches and secure environments to computing and problem solving based on collaboration by bringing resources together. To achieve the full potential of this emerging technology, grid computing is increasingly perceived to be equipped with semantic information about resources, services, customers, providers, etc... In the modern research into this domain, the focus is not only on networked and high performance computing infrastructure, but also on information handling and support for knowledge. Thus, semantic grid computing emerges as an extension of the current grid.
