Design and Implementation of the Mobile Grid Resource Management System

We present a design of a Mobile Grid Resource Management System aimed at integrating mobile resources to an existing Grid infrastructure, while creating a platform for interoperability with telecommunications providers. In order to reduce the load on an existing infrastructure, we separate responsibilities and run additional features on mobile resources. Finally we present the Ikaros-EG implementation, IkarosM android application and the mobile-Grid concept.The system used for our implementation was the NCSR “Demokritos” ZEUS computer Cluster, where the Ikaros-EG framework consisting of a meta-data collector and the Ikaros-EG plug-in has been installed. The ZEUS cluster has local and Grid access to data and meta-data from numerous scientific experiments. Our objective was to incorporate the mobile resources using the NCSR Demokritos campus wireless infrastructure in order to run applications concerning accounting, statistics, or further data/meta-data formatting.
