Providing Data Grid Capability Using Society Network on Mobile Phones

Today mobile phones are the most widespread devices in the world. The numbers of mobile phones today are, four times more than the number of PCs. This provides high potentials for providing some capabilities like data grid on mobile phones. Unfortunately, there is no suitable software system to provide this capability on mobile phones; however, we have enough hardware capabilities. All previous proposals called mobile grid only focused on hybrid mechanism, which at most mobile phones could conduct process, but all scheduling activities were still done on server. The hardware enhancement of mobile phones has become steady, and Moor’s law is not applied to mobile phones anymore due to the limitation in battery power. In this paper, we focus on data grid capabilities, and try to provide the same functionality for mobile phones. Constraints of mobile phones make them unsuitable to port data grid on them, and we should change many mechanism in order to provide this functionality. We consider the non-functional requirements of mobile phones in our proposed system. We define a new concept society network, which is necessary to overcome other constraints of mobile phones. So far, there were not such a system developed on mobile phone, and our idea is quite new to the field.
