An Insight into Scheduling Algorithms for Mobile Grid: A Survey

The integration of mobile devices with grid computing pioneered a new paradigm termed as Mobile grid computing. This concept has engrossed many researchers to address the issues in utilizing the mobile resources in grid computing. Resource management and scheduling is one of the major concerns in mobile grids due to the impending nature and dynamic scale of resources. Scheduling in grid computing is NP complete and many scheduling strategies have been introduced for the efficient utilization of resources. But these algorithms cannot be applied to mobile grids. Many strategies have been developed for the optimal scheduling of resources in mobile grid. In this paper we provide an insight into the scheduling algorithms that have been tailor made for mobile grids.
