Abstract
"Grid computing is becoming more and more attractive for coordinating
large-scale heterogeneous resource sharing and problem solving. From the
viewpoint of decentralization and interoperability, we add agent layer based on
ChinaGrid Support Platform (CGSP) system services. By describing these agent
technologies in detail, we prove that agents can be implemented in WSRF
specification as a web service resource. It works well to extend the autonomy
and interoperability for CGSP system."
