REFERENCES loading balance and job migration functions to

establish a P2P Grid platform. Basing on this P2P
Grid platform, we propose a load balancing policy
named SALB. SALB picks out the neighbors with
more remaining resources to be the candidate
sites in the neighbor selection phase, and then
migrates jobs to the candidate neighbor with the
minimal job turnaround time in the job migration
phase. In addition, experimental results show that
SALB indeed improves the resource utilization
and achieves effective load balancing.
In the future, we plan to improve the neighbor
selection mechanism and deploy the policies to
UniGrid to verify its performance. On the other
hand, we will adopt the grid simulator, such as
GridSim, as the experiment environment for our
load balancing strategy to enlarge the experi-
mental scale.
