The main objective of grid computing is resource sharing through an efficient resource management system. It has emerged to facilitate resource sharing and efficient utilization of grid resources. However the grid resources are still underutilized and not widely used by all. Existing resource brokers focused on to select the resources based on user requirements and availability of resources. However, there is no work focused on to provide an intelligent assistance for resource brokers. Besides, Non- Functional Requirements presents a systematic and pragmatic approach for building quality into grid software systems. Such kind of systems must exhibit quality attributes, such as accuracy, performance, security, modifiability etc. However, such nonfunctional requirements are not addressed so far in grid environment. Towards this end. a system "An intelligent grid resource brokers eliciting non-functional requirements (NFR) preferences of grid users." is proposed to provide an intelligent assisted service and to elicit NFR preferences of users in the grid environments.
