List of Quality Attributes for Grid Monitoring Tools

Large systems like grids and grid monitoring tools (GMTs) experience frequent revisions and are required to be analyzed for steadiness, manageability, longer life span and indispensability. Many tools have been developed for grid monitoring, but no specific tool exists to cater for all required QAs. It has also been observed that some QAs are not properly handled in most of the existing tools. Hence there is need to compile a list of necessary QAs and means to achieve these QAs at architectural level. Eight QAs, seventeen sub-QAs, and thirty one architectural mechanisms (AMs) are presented along with the justification to adopt them
