Abstract

At present various methods relating resource access control in grid environment are being studied. Most of the access authorization to grid resource is designed fit to the attributes and the role of user. But resource access control is to be made in the respect of business model to activate grid. Therefore this study suggests a model that can operate resource access control driven by grid accounting information. On the base of collection of accounting information about grid job, processing cost is yielded. If the user's available fund is less than processing cost, it gets to control grid job by the resource access control policy. Finally when grid job is completed, user is assigned to pay the charges for using resource of supplier. Then resource provider gets to supply stable resource in grid by participating it voluntarily to use idle resource. This study is esteemed to realize utility computing environment correspondent to economic principle by ensuring resource access policy of organizations which participate in grid.

현재 그리드 환경에서 자원 접근 제어에 관련된 다양한 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 대부분 그리드 자원에 대한 접근 권한은 사용자의 특성 및 역할에만 맞춰 부여되도록 설계되었다. 그러나 그리드가 활성화되기 위해서는 비즈니스 모델 측면에서 자원 접근 제어가 이뤄져야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 그리드 어카운팅 정보에 의해 구동되는 자원 접근 제어를 실시할 수 있는 아키텍처를 제안한다. 그리드 작업에 대한 어카운팅 정보를 수집하고, 이를 토대로 처리비용을 산출한다. 만약 사용자의 가용 자금이 처리비용보다 부족할 경우, 자원 접근 제어 정책에 따라 그리드 작업을 제어하게 된다. 최종적으로 그리드 작업이 완료되면, 사용자는 자원 제공자의 자원 사용에 대한 과금을 지불하게 된다. 그럼으로, 자원 제공자는 유휴 자원들을 활용하기 위해 자발적으로 참여함으로써 그리드에 안정적인 자원을 공급하게 된다. 그리고 그리드에 참여하는 조직체들의 자원 접근 정책을 보장함으로써, 경제 원리에 준하는 유틸리티 컴퓨팅 환경을 실현할 수 있는 연구로 평가된다.
