Computational Grids provide computing power by sharing resources across administrative domains. This sharing, coupled with
the need to execute distrusted task from arbitrary users, introduces security hazards. This study mainly examines the integration
of the notion of “trust” into resource management based on Grid economic model to enhance Grid security. Our contributions
are two-fold: First, we propose a trust function which based on dynamic trust changing and construct a Grid trust model based
on behavior. Second, we present trust-aware time optimization scheduling algorithm within budget constraints and trust-aware
cost optimization scheduling algorithm within deadline constraints. The performance of these algorithms excels that of algorithm
without considering trust via theory analysis and simulation experiment.
