Abstract

To improve the usability and reliability of grid-based applications, instrumentation middleware services are now proposed and widely accepted as a means to monitor, control and manage grid users’ applications. A plethora of research works now exist focusing on the design and implementation of a range of software instrumentation techniques (Lee et al. 2003, Reilly and Taleb 2002) to enhance general systems’ management including; QoS, fault-tolerance, systems recovery and load-balancing. However, management, assurance and fidelity concerns related to sensors and actuators (effectors) support for grid and web services environment received little to no attention. This paper presents a lightweight framework for the generation, deployment and discovery of different types of sensors and actuators together with two associated description languages namely; monitor session description language and sensor and actuation description langue. These are used respectively to describe the set of deployed sensors and actuators in a given self-managing grid infrastructure, and to define monitoring properties and policies of a given target service/application. Moreover, negotiation process is considered between different units of the grid environment. In addition, the paper presents a developed sensor-based systems awareness fabric layer for self-managing decentralised web services. The paper concludes with a case study illustrating the use of the sensor framework for job monitoring.
