Abstract

Grid computing exploits linked heterogeneous resources to deal with greedy applications or complicated executing tasks. Hence, an efficient resource allocation algorithm is extremely important for the sake of reducing and minimizing the overall execution time. Our approach consists in developing a novel collaborative Q-Learning scheduler using a Holonic Multi Agent System to solve the job scheduling problems on heterogeneous distributed systems. The results show that for many tested dynamic environments, the proposed load balancer optimizes the distribution of tasks and reduces the total tardiness.
