An SLA Negotiation Strategy for Scheduling in Grid

In this paper, we have proposed an efficient job cheduling strategy using multi-agent systems and service level agreements (SLAs), in which user and resource provider agentbargain with each other based on Alternating Offers Protocol. Software agents communicate and autonomously make negotiation decisions on behalf of their human users. SLAs areused to establish agreements for ensuring the user’s QoS requirements are met, and the provider utilizes its ownresources efficiently. We aim to investigate the computational intensive applications. To this end, we have considered aconcurrent bilateral negotiation where multiple users and providers are able to participate in process to achieve their goals. The effectiveness of this approach is evaluated by simulations on GridSim toolkit and Grid workload traces
