Grid Computing Environment Using Ontology Based Service

Abstract

Abstract. Grid computing environments can share resources and services in a large-scale. These environments are being considered as an effective solution for many organizations to execute distributed applications to obtain high level of performance and availability. However, the use of a grid environment can be a complex task for an ordinary user, demanding a previous knowledge of the access requirements from a virtual organization. In order to improve the search of resources and its selection, in this paper we propose the use of ontology as alternative approach to help the use of grid services. This paradigm can provide a description of available resources, leading users to desire operations and describing resources syntax and semantics that can form a common domain vocabulary. Our experimental result indicates that our proposal allows a better comprehension about available resources.

MITSIO—an architecture for the management of interactive tasks and the semantic integration of ontologies in the mobile grid

“…The use of three ontologies shows the wide range of views that the resources can have in different organizations. The three virtual organizations had their resources described by ontologies developed in [22] (in the English language), [27] (in the Portuguese language) and [29] (in the Portuguese language), respectively (all of the three are designed basing on the OWL language). Each organization published 10 descriptions of resources, totaling thirty resources.…”

An Efficient Approach for Resource Set-Matching in Grid Computing Configurations

“…There are many languages that were developed to build ontologies. These languages are usually divided into two major groups like describe in [24]: those that are based on first order logic and the other class is based on web technologies.…”
