Meeting Virtual Organization Performance Goals Through Adaptive Grid Reconfiguration

In order for Grids to become relied upon for critical infrastructure and reliable scientific computing, Grid-wide management must be automated so that it is possible in quickly and comprehensively respond to or anticipate specific environmental changes and requirements. That is, due to the disjoint administration of Grids which results in high communication requirements as well as large numbers of skilled administrators, manual reconfiguration of large portions of a Grid in such situations is not a viable solution.
