Large scale networks such as computational Grid is a distributed computing infrastructure that can provide globally available network resources. Their size and complexity continue to increase and permit an almost ubiquitous availability of resources; users become able to access network resources ir respective to their location. Therefore, new resource management and access models are required and need to be highly flexible with self-organizing capabilities in order to cope with a dynamically changing environment. In this paper, a distributed and adaptive holonic multi-agent system for resource discovery in Grids is presented. Simulations are presented to demonstrate that structuring servers into holons improves the performance of request resolution processes in dynamic Grid environment.
