Abstract

The emerging Grid infrastructure and its support for seamless and secure interactions is enabling a new generation of autonomic applications where the application components, Grid services, resources, and data interact as peers to manage, adapt and optimize themselves and the overall application. In this paper we describe the design, development and operation of a prototype of such an application that uses peer-to-peer interactions between distributed services and data on the Grid to enable the autonomic optimization of an oil reservoir.
