Abstract
Grids provide a uniform interface to a collection of heterogeneous, geographically distributed resources. In recent years, the research on the Grid Monitoring System gets increasingly essential and significant. In this paper we put forward a novel Mobile Agent-based Grid Monitoring Architecture (MA-GMA), which is based on the GMA from GGF and introduces the mobile agents and cache mechanism of MDS. Based on the Open Grid Service Architecture (OGSA) standard, we merge the intelligence and mobility characteristic of mobile agent into the current OGSA to constructing a dynamic and extensible monitoring system. In the end, we do some experiments under different environments. As the results shown, this MA-GMA is proved to be effective and improve the monitoring performance greatly.
