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

这个协作SGER提案调查了运行分布式虚拟专用环境中的管理和自主操作问题。该提案称这种环境为“VP网格”;有机的功能，VP网格作为现有网格资源的覆盖，并在运行时动态调整，以响应资源和网络条件，模拟虚拟网格环境。SGER提案引入了管理机制来支持与VP网格的创建和操作相关联的功能。具体而言，研究任务包括：通过在虚拟VP-Grid内外实例化自管理代理，探索特定于应用的管理策略规范和实施（即在底层网格资源上）;调查编排方法的有效性（伸缩、重定位、拓扑调整）;基于真实的互联网蠕虫代码进行系统仿真。

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.
