This paper proposes a model of resource discovery method that based on classifying the nodes of resources according to their importance to a Grid application. Each group has a leader that collects the information of the group members. The paper describes how this model can satisfy the expected characteristics of any resource discovery method. Which are: decentralization, scalability, dynamism, supporting attribute-based discovery and multi-attribute range queries. © 2008 IEEE. %Z cited By 1; Conference of International Symposium on Information Technology 2008, ITSim ; Conference Date: 26 August 2008 Through 29 August 2008; Conference Code:74115
