1 A Market-based Framework for Trading Grid Resources Dr. JIE SONG Asia Pacific Science & Technology Center Sun Microsystems Inc.

2 Agenda Motivation Grid Service Market Framework Prototype Design and Implementation > Portal Component > Grid Bank Service Conclusion& Future Work

3 Two Scenarios for Grid Resource Trading Service Consumer > A manufacturing company want to buy extra resources from the grid to reduce the design and analysis duration... Service Provider > An electronic design automation software vendor want to offer the service in the grid...

4 Related Works There are many projects about applying economic approach in resource scheduling and allocation: > GridBus in Australia > Grid Market in UK > Shanghai Grid in China > Business Grid in Japan >... But a virtual grid market platform is still not yet available.

5 Research Issues Service Oriented Architecture > SOA based business model? Economic based grid scheduler for computational & data grid > How about other grid resources? Sensor grid? Access grid? Accounting for enterprise/cluster grid > How about accounting for global grid user with different SLA? Pricing and Charging > How to decide service/resource value that is exchanged among grids?

6 Research Issues Grid banking Transaction between banks? Exchange unit & mechanism? License & Intelligence Protection 'static' license management cannot capable to grids. How to protect IP for vendors, service providers? Service Query & Matching Information Server How to describe service specification for all kind of services? How to match the consumer's requirement? Trade management & negotiation protocol How to create, sign, maintain and monitor the contract of the trade?

9 Prototype Design & Implementation We implement a prototype to facilitate the testing of different business models. It consists three parts: > A web portal interface > Back-end agents > Grid services

10 Prototype Portal

11 Portal

12 User Registration/Login

13 Publish a Service/Resource Organized by > Organization > Category

14 Search for a Provider

15 Search for a Provider

16 Search for a Service

17 Search for a Resource By Geography By Category

18 Grid Bank Service Provide account management, e.g. Opening, checking, closing Facilitate money transfer between grid banks Facilitate query of a transaction history Enable currency exchange Allow holding account Assure the provider of getting paid after the service duration is over. > Refuse withdraw if below the hold amount > Holding is not persistent, has expiry duration

19 Payment

20 Currency Exchange

21 Money Transfer

22 Transaction

23 Conclusion The adoption of Grid Technology in industry is still slower than the academic research community. There is the demand for commercialization of grid resources and build a grid market environment for resource trading. A prototype implementation is introduced which consists of an agent-based system with a portal front-end and a grid banking service support.

24 Future Work There are still lots of missing block in our grid service market framework. > Negotiation > Charging Service > Prediction of resource usage > Various business models support, like leasing or subscription-based model. >... We acknowledge Mr. Endang Purwanto Sulaiman and Dr. Ong Yew Soon from Nanyang Technological University, for their contribution on the prototype implementation.
