Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a distributed, innovative self-organizing approach to provide intelligent communication and resource management for service grids that increases the services’ self-managing capabilities. We eliminate the need for a central facilitator or resource broker. In our distributed resource allocation, solely the nomadic services in the system are responsible for all resource allocation decisions. They consider the amount of available resources as well as the network transmission costs during service execution in their resource allocation decisions.
