- W121623883 abstract "The thesis presents an approach to on-demand capacity expansion in communities of Internet users that aggregate their resources to achieve a common objective. Such commu- nities are emerging as forms of organisation taking advantage of an increasing broadband access and computational capacity. Volunteer computing such as SETI@home, Collab- orative Grids such as OurGrid and LaCOLLA, Ad-hoc and Peer-to-Peer Grids, such as P-Grid and the XGrid project from Apple, Open Grids such as those addressed by SORMA and Grid4All and many other approaches of Grid Computing based on Virtual Organisa- tions are the focus of our work. These systems are characterised by the purpose of their participants, i.e. to achieve a common objective taking advantage of the aggregation of other resources. The cited systems, in contrast to high performance computing Grids, are open to new participants, which makes their behaviour unpredictable and dynamic, and resources are usually connected and disconnected spontaneously. While the critical aspect of high performance Grids is computational performance, stability and availability are the main issues for the systems addressed in this work. The thesis homogenises the concepts of those paradigms under the term Contributory System, which is used throughout the thesis to refer to the systems where users provide their resources to be used collectively to achieve a common objective. Resource expan- sion in Contributory Systems is required so as to increase the limited capacities of ad-hoc collaborative groups under unexpected load surges, temporary resource requirements or other policies defined by the objectives of the Virtual Organisation that they constitute. Four aspects are addressed by the dissertation. Firstly, it identifies the main properties and applications of Contributory Systems and motivates the need for infrastructures to enable on-demand resource expansion. This goes in the direction of Utility Computing trends which are main business lines for IT companies. Thus the thesis proposes the on-demand provision of idle resources from the extremes of the Internet, other Virtual Or- ganisations or Resource Providers to those organisations that have resource needs. In this work, resource allocation is handled by market models which provide efficient while simple mechanisms to mediate the allocation of resources. This proposal enables new emerging opportunities to Internet users to make their business on the Internet by selling their idle resources. Besides, this brings the opportunity to small communities to grow and to bring super-computing capacities to Internet end-users. Secondly, the thesis describes semantically Computational Resources so as to build a common knowledge about the Internets resources. The semantic description enables a common understanding of the nature of resources, permitting the pooling and aggrega- tion of distinct types of technologies while maintaining the same semantics. This makes applications and resource management frameworks independent of the real nature of the resources which we claim as a fundamental aspect to keep resource management indepen- dent of the dynamics and evolution of technology in computational environments, such as in Contributory Systems. A semantic description permits the development of generic specifications to provide bid and offer descriptions in computational markets. Thirdly, the architecture for on-demand resource expansion in Contributory Systems is presented. It has been designed to provide the main functionalities to on-demand provi- sion of resources through markets to scenarios characterized by dynamism, evolution and heterogeneity. The architecture provides the main market oriented functionalities and en- ables dynamic and on-demand execution of market mechanisms. Finally, a specific Grid-oriented market mechanism is presented. The approach is moti- vated due to the unsuitability of current auctions to efficiently allocate time-differentiated resources (usually provided by many different resource providers) such as most of the re- sources in a Contributory System. The thesis builds a roadmap to achieve flexible and decentralized resource expansion in communities where resources are shared by their participants by analysing the main scenarios where it can be applied, providing the semantics and specification to enable the description of the user's requirements, proposing a flexible and configurable architecture to deal with on-demand resource expansion in Virtual Organisations and proposing an specific mechanism adapted to trade computational resources." @default.
