Adaptive Failure Detection Framework for Grid Computing
To improve the reliability of the grid, an adaptive failure detection framework is presented in this paper. There are two important algorithms in this framework, one is the algorithm about failure detection between two processes, and the other is the algorithm for failure detectors management. This framework incorporates the technique of unreliable failure detection service and the idea of R-GMA. The framework is organized in a hierarchical structure, and it can be adaptive to the system conditions and user requirements with changing the system parameters and system organizations. With mathematical evaluation and experimental evaluation, the framework shows good scalability and flexibility.
