Abstract
Resources disposed within a plurality of distributed and autonomous computing systems, each of which may have its own legacy resource discovery service, are identified and allocated. Resource identification servers disposed within each one of the distributed computing systems communicate resource attribute data to a tree hierarchy of dedicated servers. The resource attribute data are maintained in native formats within the distributed computing systems and are mapped to a common format provided by the dedicated servers. The resource attribute data are aggregated at each node within the tree hierarchy, communicated up through the tree hierarchy to one or more root nodes and replicated down through all of the nodes. Additional system robustness is provided through period resource checks and resource attribute data updates. Resource allocation queries are submitted to any level node within the hierarchy and forwarded to the proper computing system for processing.
