This paper proposes a new infrastructure for efficient job scheduling on the Grid using multi-agent systems and a market-like Service Level Agreement (SLA) negotiation protocol based on the well known Contract Net Protocol. The agent-based Grid scheduling system involves user agents, local scheduler agents, and super scheduler agents. User agents submit jobs to Grid Compute resources. Local scheduler agents schedule jobs on Compute resources. A market-like SLA negotiation protocol based on the Contract Net Protocol has been proposed to schedule the jobs on Compute resources. The SLA negotiation protocol is a hierarchical bidding mechanism involving meta-SLA negotiation between the user agents nd the super scheduler agents; and sub-SLA negotiation between the super scheduler agents and the local scheduler agents.
