A Semantic Web-Based Approach to Knowledge Management for Grid Applications

Abstract

Grid computing promises a standard, ‘complete’ set of distributed computing capabilities. Grid computing must provide basic functions such as resource discovery and information collection & publishing, data management on and between resources, process management on and between resources, common security mechanism underlying the above, process and session recording/accounting. Main advantage of Grid computing is, a network of distributed resources including computers, peripherals, switches, instruments, and data. Each user should have a single login account to access all resources.

We start by analyzing the nature of Grid computing and its requirements for knowledge support; then, we discuss knowledge characteristics and the challenges for knowledge management on the Grid.

Existing system

         

        Knowledge management has six problems in knowledge life cycle. That is acquiring, modeling, retrieving, reusing, publishing, and maintaining knowledge. Grid are how to acquire, formally model, explicitly  represent, store, maintain, and update them, and  to use them to support seamless resource sharing and interoperability, so as to achieve a high degree of automation.

Proposed system

.

We analyze the nature of Grid computing and identify its requirements for knowledge management. We further argue that an innovative and systematic approach to knowledge management on the Grid is required in order to help achieve the goal of the Grid. Our contributions are three folds: First, we propose the Semantic Web-based approach to managing heterogeneous, distributed Grid resources for Grid applications. Second, we design architecture to realize the proposed approach and conceive a methodology which addresses the complete life cycle of knowledge management. Third, we apply the approach, concepts, and methodology to a real-world Grid application.
