It searches for the apposite variety of resource that satisfies the user's requirements. Resource discovery in computing system is perplexing because of conventional centralized approaches and resilient availability of resources. This scenario becomes more complex in inter-clouds owing to the dynamism and heterogeneity of clouds involved. The inspiration driving this paper is to utilize peer-to-peer approach to circumvent the problem of resource provisioning and resource discovery that are predominantly associated with centralized approach. This paper introduces a system model of Resource discovery in Inter-Cloud and mechanism to joining Remote Resource Manager using reputation based algorithm. We attempt to minimize the data traffic and balance the load partly by using the reputation based algorithm.}, journal = {American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
