Abstract

A Grid application framework uses semantic languages to describe the tasks and resources used to complete them. A Grid application execution framework comprises a plurality of mobile agents operable to execute one or more tasks described in an intent based task specification language, Input/Output circuitry operable to receive input that describes a task in the task specification language, an analysis engine for generating a solution to the described task, and an intent knowledge base operable to store information contained within tasks of the plurality of mobile agents

Claims

1. A Grid application execution framework comprising:

a plurality of mobile agents operable to execute one or more tasks described in an intent based task specification language;

I/O circuitry operable to receive input that describes a task in the task specification language;

an analysis engine for generating a solution to the described task; and

an intent knowledge base operable to store information contained within tasks of the plurality of mobile agents

2. The framework according to claim 1, wherein the input is modified by providing intent information.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the task specification language allows for advanced decision-making based on knowing a higher-level intent of the task.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising at least one subordinate agent to a mobile agent in the plurality of mobile agents.
