Grid information service based on network latency

ABSTRACT

Grid information service influences quality of service for grid platforms directly. In this paper, based on network latency, network coordinate is introduced into grid information service to locate each grid node. By network coordinates, network latency between user and resource providers can be forecasted, and the result can be submitted to grid information service, which offers a list of resource providers with increasing of network latency. The proposal is suitable for time-sensitive applications and can enhance the ability of grid resource sharing and collaboration.
