ABSTRACT

With the introduction of Grid computing, complexity of large scale distributed systems has become unmanageable because of the manual system adopted for the management these days. Due to dynamic nature of grid, manual management techniques are time-consuming, in-secure and more prone to errors. This leads to new paradigm of self-management through autonomic computing to pervade over the old manual system to begin the next generation of Grid computing. In this paper, we have discussed the basic concept of grid computing and the need for grid to be autonomic. A comparative analysis of different grid middleware has been provided to show the absence of autonomic behavior in current grid architecture. To conclude the discussion, we have mentioned the areas where research work has been lacking and what we believe the community should be considering.
