Abstract

Resource brokering is an essential component in building effective Grid systems. The paper discusses the performance evaluation of a broker that is designed within the SNAP (Service Negotiation and Acquisition Protocol) framework and focuses on applications that require resources on demand. The performance evaluation is carried out using a combination of mathematical modelling and simulation. Initial results are presented, indicating that the simulation and modelling are in good agreement.
