Abstract
In this paper, we propose a new approach to performance analysis, data sharing and tools integration in Grids that is based on ontology. We devise a novel ontology for describing the semantics of monitoring and performance data that can be used by performance monitoring and measurement tools. We introduce an architecture for an ontology-based model for performance analysis, data sharing and tools integration. At the core of this architecture is a Grid service which offers facilities for other services to archive and access ontology models along with collected performance data, and to conduct searches and perform reasoning on that data. Using an approach based on ontology, performance data will be easily shared and processed by automated tools, services and human users, thus helping to leverage the data sharing and tools integration, and increasing the degree of automation of performance analysis.
