Intelligent Grids

Abstract. A computational grid is built around an infrastructure which facilitates the access of a diverse user community to a wide range of ser-vices provided by autonomous service providers. Most of the current re-search on grid computing is focused on relatively small grids dedicated to a rather restricted community of well trained users, with a rather narrow range of problems. The question we address is how to construct intelligent computational grids which are truly scalable and could respond to the needs of a more diverse user community. The contribution of this paper is an in-depth discussion of intelligent computational grids, an analysis of some core services, and the presentation of the basic architecture of the middleware we are currently constructing.
