Abstract
Risk assessment in grid computing is an important issue as grid is a shared environment with diverse resources spread across several administrative domains. Therefore, by assessing risk in grid computing, we can analyze possible risks for the growing consumption of computational resources of an organization and thus we can improve the organization’s computation effectiveness. In this paper, we used a function approximation tool, namely, flexible neural tree for risk prediction and risk (factors) identification. Flexible neural tree is a feed forward neural network model, where network architecture was evolved like a tree. Our comprehensive experiment finds score for each risk factor in grid computing together with a general tree-based model for predicting risk. We used an ensemble of prediction models to achieve generalization.
