Abstract:
Resource availability fluctuates over time in ad hoc grids and other similar distributed systems due to their dynamism and complexity. These changes require adaptation of the system to the new system state. This paper will present an ant colony based self-managing mechanism in a P2P ad hoc grid. In this paper, we apply ant colony optimization for self-management of a P2P ad hoc grid. The proposed mechanism will enable the ad hoc grid participants to self-organize themselves and form/de-form virtual resource clusters according to their changing resource availability/requirements. We also investigate how can ants form a dynamic cluster/ring of specialized resources. The experimental results show that the proposed mechanism work better than the previously proposed mechanisms.
