Abstract

This paper describes the control of computations in a distributed computing environment (DCE) on the basis of its meta-monitoring and simulation modeling. Computations are controlled by a multiagent system with a given organizational structure. Resource allocation is carried out by agents with the use of economic mechanisms for controlling their supply and demand. Controlling actions for agents are formed on the basis of the simulation modeling of functional processes of the DCE. Data about the DCE resources and processes are collected and emergency situations in the DCE nodes are detected and prevented by the meta-monitoring system of this environment. The research results are the techniques for selecting control actions and the methods for intellectual processing and effective storage of data.
