Sourav Gayen, Avijit Bhowmick, Biswajit Upadhyay . Developing a Novel Trust Model for the Best Resource Selection among the Resources in Grid Environment. International Journal of Computer Applications. 70, 6 ( May 2013), 28-34. DOI=10.5120/11968-7812
Grid computing is a wide area distributed parallel computing environment where it focuses on communication among different heterogeneous devices and harnesses unused processor cycles of all computers in a network for solving critical problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine. In this scenario security is vital concern because of dynamic allocation of users and resources. Among all other security issues trust establishment is given first priority. In this paper, we propose a novel model for resource selection in Grid computing environment. This model is truly unique model where decision is based on computed total trust which includes transaction, feedbacks, reputation, similarity, activity, popularity and obviously the total trust of the resources. The final decision is depend on the total trust of each resource. So the main motto of our project is to retrieve the best resource among the resources in grid environment. This paper provides a model which will allow only dependable transactions in grid by using total trust as a measure for the resources.
