Grid is to use internet technology to connect, assign, manage and coordinate the different resources which are geographically dispersed in different locations, including computing resource, storage resource, communication resource, software resource, information resource and knowledge resource etc. And all the resources compose a virtual supercomputer via the logic relations. It makes the effective management and scheduling of Grid resource more complex than traditional distributed network due to the distribution, heterogeneity, dynamic, autonomy and other characteristics of Grid resource. Consequently the Grid resource management becomes an important research domain in Grid research. Based on a systematical summary of relevant works on Grid resource management, this dissertation proposes a Grid resource management model based on agent "the central management - local coordination assignment". It utilizes the autonomy and intelligence of mobile agent to manage the distributed, heterogeneous, autonomous and dynamic Grid resource. It is a new management model and a feasible management method.
