A Service-oriented Resource Monitoring Architecture in a Distributed Environment

This paper analyzes two common resource monitoring architectures, GMA and MDS, in distributed environment. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of both two architectures, a service-oriented resource monitoring architecture (RMA) was proposed, which can be seen as a GMA mode monitoring system constructed on the basis of MDS. The key technologies of the architecture were also been analyzed and implemented. RMA affords uniform, standards-based, scalable, service-oriented interface to provide interaction that is compatible and independent of operating platform. So the system has obvious advantages in distributed environment.
