摘要:The bandwidth constraints, frequent disconnections and device mobility will a.ect theresource availability in a wireless grid. The device mobility from one cell to another hasdiverse impact on job execution. Due to limited resources and rational users, users maynot be willing to share the resources. Scheduling of grid jobs in a complex, heterogeneous,resource constrained and dynamic wireless grid environment is challenging. This paperproposes a scheme for seamless job scheduling by using software agents in bandwidth con-strained wireless grids. An economic scheme by using non-cooperative bargaining game isdesigned to encourage resource sharing depending upon grid market dynamics. The schemeconsists of two agencies: grid information service and resource broker agency. The agentsin agencies interact and cooperate with each other to discover reliable devices, negotiateresource cost and bandwidth, and support seamless job execution. Based on the mobility ofa device, agents decide dynamically either to continue or terminate execution of a sched-uled job. The scheme is simulated to evaluate the performance parameters such as expectedsurplus, job completion time and job execution rate. We observed that the proposed schemeperforms better than the existing work
