Abstract:
The grid computing allows to carry out distributed applications. It is a means to make calculations and simulations more efficient than on one computer only. At the CERV (European Center for Virtual Reality), we want to make our simulations of virtual reality applied to biology on a grid of computers. As there is always interactions in these virtual worlds, the distribution is not easy. We want to produce the most autonomous possible grid and a grid used for all our simulations. For that, we choose the agent paradigm that offer to us the concepts and the capabilities of autonomy, self-organization, collaborations, ... This article presents our model called DIVA and an example of application.
Keywords: Multiagent system, Grid Computing, Biological simulations.
