Resource allocation in computational grids is considered as a NP-Complete problem due to resources heterogeneity.Grid resources are related to various management areas exerting different management policies.Nowadays, enhancing grid efficiency is regarded as a problem requiring proper and effective schedule.Unfortunately, grid resources dynamic nature, in addition to the variety of users' requests has intensified grid resource allocation.The present paper offers a new heuristic method based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm for resource allocation in grid environment.The proposed method creates an optimal scheduling in task completion with minimum flowtime and makespane.
