A mediator host is provided for identifying services of networked resources which are available for invocation in a grid computing architecture. A mediator host Application Program Interface (API) is configured to receive a service registry query and related resource query. The API identifies the service registry query and related resource query by signature. A service registry query processing agent is configured receive an identified service registry query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding service registry to satisfy the query. A resource query processing agent is configured to receive an identified related resource query from the API, and, to communicate with a corresponding resource registry to satisfy the query. The mediator host returns a service query response which satisfies a predetermined resource metric to identify candidate services for invocation.
