Globus Toolkit JADE Agent frameworks Integrating JADE Agents into
Globus based Grid environment Applications in HPCC-HUT Grid Conclusion and Future work

Introduction about GC with Globus Toolkit
GC: enables the sharing, selection, and aggregation of geographically distributed heterogeneous resources for solving large-scale problems in science, engineering, and commerce.
Globus Toolkit (GT): the leading open source toolkit used
today to build Grid environments.
4
Introduction about GC with Globus Toolkit (cont) GT:
lets people share computing power, database, and other tools securely online across corporate, industrial, and geographic boundaries without sacrificing local autonomy.
includes software services and libraries for resource monitoring, discovery, and management, plus security, file management, data management, communication, and portability.

JADE Agents framework
JADE (Java Agent DEvelopment frameworks): is a framework fully implemented in Java
language simplifies the implementation of multi-agent
systems through a middle-ware that complies with FIPA specifications and through a set of graphic tools that supports debugging and deployment phases.
6
Integrating JADE Agents into Globus based Grid environment
The necessity The main difficulties Related work Our approach
7
The necessity Resources in Grid environment:
heterogeneous geographically distributed dynamically changed
Agent technologies’ abilities: autonomy co-operate reaction migration
8
The main difficultiesGlobus Toolkit To build a Grid
Service: extends class GridServiceBase or use operation providers
A Grid Service lives in Globus Grid Service container
JADE framework To build an Agent:
extends class Agent and setup some behaviors
An Agent lives in JADE platform
2 platforms use different standard formats of message
9
The main difficulties (cont)
What is the solution that can ease the communication and interaction between objects living within these two separate environments?
10
Related work
SoFAR project: considers an Agent as a service by
means of using Web service facilities to expose agent features
11
Our approach - HAGS
We consider a Grid Service as an Agent and add Agent’s behaviors into the service
Hybrid Agent – Grid Service Core idea: writing a Grid Service
that extends the Agent class!!! Simple!!!
12
HAGS – Design and Implementation
Preparation The HAGS The Auto Setup Agent Grid Service
13
HAGS - Preparation
Copy six main libraries of JADE (jade.jar, iiop.jar, crimson.jar, http.jar Base64.jar, jadeTools.jar) into Globus Toolkit library directory ($GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib)
14
HAGS Extends Agent class Agent Uses operation providers Grid Service Some important methods:
initialize(): create a non-main container and connect it to the default main container of JADE platform
setup() and takedown(): just setup code as for ordinary agents
preDestroy(): order the agent to delete itself
15
HAGS - The Auto Setup Agent Grid Service
Automatically setup the whole JADE platform along with the grid service container
Can recognize when the grid service container is going to be shut down and automatically shut down the agent platform as well
is successfully implemented ready-to-use

Applications in HPCC-HUT Grid
HPCC-HUT Grid Application: Weka The multi agent system as a grid
information service Agent as a resource manager Agent as a resource broker

Conclusion and Future work
Results: Idea and technical details of completing
an HAGS system Successful implementation in BKGrid
2005 Drawbacks:
The agent communication hasn’t been really controlled yet security problems!!!
The overhead caused by the whole agent system to the grid environment
21
Conclusion and Future work (cont)
Future work: Solve the drawbacks Experiment the HAGS system in
larger Grid environments

Thank you very much!
