INTRODUCTION defined as those operations that control the way that grid resources and services are made available for use by entities like users, applications and services. The consumer who is executing the applications may either directly or indirectly request resources from the gud. Such resource requests are considered as jobs by the grid. Given that resource providers and consumers may have different needs, successfully acquiring commitments through concurrent negotiations with multiple resource providers to simultaneously access several resources is a very challenging task for consumers. In this paper we have presented a concurrent negotiation mechanism that is designed for managing (de)commitment of contracts through one-to-many negotiations and coordination of multiple concurrent one-to-many negotiations between a consumer and multiple resource providers. The utility- oriented coordination (UOC) strategy has been presented and the UOC strategy achieved higher utility, faster negotiation speed, and higher success rates than Patient Coordination strategy for different resource market types.
