Agreement-Based Interactions for Experimental Science

Enabling quality of service (QoS) in the Grids requires not only resource management strategies but also the development of protocols enabling structured negotiation for the use of resources. Such protocols will allow the creation of policies dynamically and automatically broadening the scope of Grid applications. In this paper, we describe design, implementation and application of an agreement-based infrastructure. We then discuss its use in the virtual control room developed for the National Fusion Collaboratory.
