Grid computing technologies are increasingly being used to aggregate computing resources that are geographically distributed across different locations. Commercial networks are being used to connect these resources, and thus serve as a fundamental component of grid computing. Since these grid resources are connected over a shared infrastructure, it is essential that we consider their effect dur...

Grid computing is a high performance computing environment to solve larger scale computational demands. Grid computing contains resource management, scheduling, security problems, information management and so on. Scheduling is the use to achieve high performance in grid environments. This paper explains one of the large growing optimization algorithms, the ant colony algorithm and genetic algo...

Grid Computing is a form of distributed Computing that has emerged as a viable solution to meet the ever increasing needs for computational power and data management capability. Designing solutions in such grid computing framework entails addressing much more complicated issues compared to chore software development, namely concurrency, heterogeneity, scalability and so forth; just to name a fe...

Recently, distributed computing infrastructures such as grid computing, have witnessed huge developments which have a very important impact on computationally intensive scientific, industrial and engineering problems. Collaborative computing, resources access and sharing facilitated by grid computing systems amplifies concerns about cyber attacks and misbehaviors of grid resources (resources pr...
