First Claim
1. A method implemented in a grid network including grid managers, the grid managers each managing a service and a resource running the service, and including at least a superior grid manager and inferior grid managers, the method comprising:
- sending a first query from the superior grid manager to the inferior grid managers, the first query including a resource requirement for the resources managed by the grid managers;
receiving, at the superior grid manager, in response to the first query, indications of resources managed by the inferior grid managers that meet the resource requirement and are available;
providing feedback from the grid managers about the grid network; and
displaying, based on the feedback, a matrix comprising;
rows corresponding to the grid managers and the services managed by the grid managers, andcolumns representing the resources and having intersections with the rows,wherein the intersections between columns and the rows include indications of the services running on the resources.

Abstract
A method and a graphical user interface (GUI) presents a set of services managing a portion of a computer grid, the GUI including a matrix-like structure with columns and rows, each column representing a computer from a set of computers in the computer grid, each computer from the set of computers having a grid manager, and each row representing a grid manager or other application service, positions of labels in the structure indicating which computer currently runs which grid manager or other application service. The GUI also includes a column representing a first computer from the set of computers running a first grid manager, and one or more columns representing one or more computers from the set of computers running one or more grid managers having an inferior relation with the first grid manager.
