Abstract: | Peer-to-peer grid computing is an attractive computing paradigm for high throughput applications. However, both volatility
due to the autonomy of volunteers (i.e., resource providers) and the heterogeneous properties of volunteers are challenging
problems in the scheduling procedure. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a scheduling mechanism that adapts to a dynamic
peer-to-peer grid computing environment. In this paper, we propose a Mobile Agent based Adaptive Group Scheduling Mechanism
(MAAGSM). The MAAGSM classifies and constructs volunteer groups to perform a scheduling mechanism according to the properties
of volunteers such as volunteer autonomy failures, volunteer availability, and volunteering service time. In addition, the
MAAGSM exploits a mobile agent technology to adaptively conduct various scheduling, fault tolerance, and replication algorithms
suitable for each volunteer group. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the MAAGSM improves performance by evaluating the scheduling
mechanism in Korea@Home.
