Abstract

A proactive model for gathering resource attribute values in large scale distributed systems is proposed and analyzed within the context of resource discovery. This model, based on a tree topology, relies on information reduction to limit the amount of information collected at each node of the tree structure and to minimize information update and query cost. A Markov chain is used to model resource attribute value changes. This model is solved using dynamic programming to determine the optimal reduction scheme that minimizes the overall cost of updating and querying resource attributes.
