Abstract

See full text

Under the present invention, a user-issued request for services is received and validated based on the service policy. Once validated, an initial set of service providers from a grid are identified. Once identified, the set can be dynamically varied based on monitored performances of the service providers, and/or based on the discovery of other service providers from other grids. Once the set is finalized, one or more particular service providers are selected to process the request. This system allows the grid to automatically respond to events monitored to optimize and provide reliable operations.
