A grid based unified framework for optimization (数理モデル化と問題解決)

概要

This paper presents a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) compliant Problem Solving Environment (PSE) that allows the user to implement any metaheuristics based algorithm over a Grid. We call this framework a Grid based Unified Framework for Optimization (GridUFO). GridUFO provides a unified approach for sharing and using metaheuristics algorithms (solvers) and objective functions over a Grid in an easiest possible "plug & play" manner. In this way the user can take all the advantages of the Grid without taking into consideration any of the complexities posed by the Grid environment. The framework is accessible to the user through a Web service or through a fully integrated 2nd generation Web portal. GridUFO provides well-defined interfaces between the user-programmed objective functions and solvers. We also present MetaHeuristics Markup Language (MHML), an XML based language that acts as an interface between the user and the framework. In this paper we will discuss the design and implementation of GridUFO in detail. Moreover, we will talk about our experience of working with Grids, and we will also make some recommendations for future research.
