Background: The main purpose of this paper is to improve the efficiency of grid computing by means of Ants’ society algorithm. Application of this algorithm in various problem led to an improvement in efficiency and reduction in processing time. This enables us to use this algorithm in grid computing. Economic solutions in the field of management of heterogeneous resources for grid computing showed significant performance. The main idea was economic solutions for product exchange in market. This paper aims to introduce a new method for bilateral auction scenario by means of genetic algorithm (GA). In this method, by making resources intelligent, we move the packages of call for proposal so that it can reduce response time as well as being able to supply resources with lower prices. For simplicity in controlling packages, we used the network structure in implementation. Applied structure includes routers and communication of users and auctioners and auctioners and resources owners. The method was implemented using GridSim simulator. This is an open source software written in Java programming language. Results reveal that the method of bilateral auction using GA reduces sale stages and consequently leads to faster responding to requests and also resources are supplied with a lower cost.
