Abstract

This paper proposes the use of strategies for identification and information of idle resources in a distributed environment with centralized management system. The adopted approaches made possible the obtaining of load indexes without the momentary variations on the use conditions of the resource. This was possible through the use of exponential moving averages in the processing of the obtained temporary series. The knowledge of behavior tendencies in the utilization of the resource was fundamental for the elaboration of an information algorithm, used by owners to inform their idle resources to the environment manager. The results obtained by experiments confirm the efficiency of the proposed model through the reduction of the number of load indexes considered for transmission, and consequently, a significant decrease in the network traffic and in the amount of transactions processed by the manager.
