%0 Journal Article %T The Grid Resource Discovery Method Based on Hierarchical Model %A Yulan Yin %A Huanqing Cui %A Xin Chen %J Information Technology Journal %D 2007 %I Asian Network for Scientific Information %X Grid is considered as next generation network and resource discovery is a basic component of Grid resource management. This study presents a hierarchical resource discovery method to make use of attractive features of lumped and exhaustive methods. In this study, the resources in Grid are setup in a 3-layer resource organizational model including Physical Network Layer, Resource Information Layer and Index Information Layer. A resource discovery method based on the above hierarchical model is provided. The simulation result proves that the method discussed is of fine extensibility and performance. Furthermore, it can discover a required resource concurrently to improve the efficiency. %K Resource discovery %K resource organization %K virtual organization %K hierarchical model %U http://docsdrive.com/pdfs/ansinet/itj/2007/1090-1094.pdf
