The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/GRID.2008.4662812[Abstract] The management and monitoring of static and dynamic resources is a key issue in grid environments. Information models are an abstract representation of software and hardware aspects of these resources, a common and structured representation that allows intra- and inter-grid interoperability. Among them, the common information model (CIM), standardized by the DMTF, is an object-oriented and extensible model. The aim of this work is to provide a CIM-based query service for resource management information in grid systems. This is achieved by publishing the CIM information on the monitoring and discovery system version 4 (MDS4) component of the Globus Toolkit, and implementing a query engine that supports queries with arbitrary navigation depth on a CIM instance tree.engComputer integrated manufacturingObject oriented modelingUnified modeling languageMonitoringComputational modelingMiddlewareXMLconference outputopen access10.1109/GRID.2008.4662812
