%0 Journal Article %T A Hybrid Resource Discovery Model for Grid Computing %A Mohammed Bakri Bashir %A Muhammad Shafie Bin Abd Latiff %A Aboamama Atahar Ahmed %A Yahaya Coulibaly %J International Journal of Grid Computing & Applications %D 2011 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X Grid computing system is a generalized spread network-computing infrastructure with machines distributed across multiple organizations and administrative domains. The aim of a grid is to provide uniform access to heterogeneous resources and services such as computing, network and storage. Among different functions of a grid system, such as resource selection, resource discovery (RD), resource monitoring, and others, RD remains the most important issue in grid computing environment. The successof other functions depends on RD, especially in large grid systems. RD involves finding suitable resources that match user requirements. In this paper, the results of a review of current RD schemes are presented. Additionally, a novel RD technique which is under evaluation is proposed. Thus, the exact contribution of this paper is a review of the state-of-art of resource discovery techniques in grid computing. %K Grid Computing %K Distributed Computing %K Resource Discovery %K P2P Grid %K Hierarchical Grid %K Large-scale Grid Systems %K Reliability %K Dynamicity %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijgca/papers/2311ijgca01.pdf
