Recently, Grid Computing Systems have provided wide integrated use of resources. Grid computing systems provide the ability to share, select and aggregate distributed resources as computers, storage systems or other devices in an integrated way. Grid computing systems have solved many problems in science, engineering and commerce fields. In this paper we introduce a self-recognition algorithm f...

The ‘smart grid’ is an upgrade of the existing 20th century electrical power grid, promoted to address the pressing issues of end-user energy monitoring, global warming, distributed power generation and emergency response. Smart grids are quickly spawning in Australia, Europe and North America. Security in smart grids is imperative to protect the functionality of their underlying networks, the ...

The integration of renewable energy resources is challenging the traditional electricity network. To manage this, the smart grid has been defined as a cyber-physical system consisting of a physical component, which is the electricity grid, and a computational component consisting of a communication network, metering network, and software components. Therefore, the smart grid can not just be see...

Grid Computing forms virtual, collaborative organizations that share applications and data in an open heterogeneous server environment in order to work on common problems. Desktop Grid is a named collection of machines in a shared network where resource providers have heterogeneous properties such as CPU, network, memory complicated by various capabilities, failures, lack of trust based on desk...

Grid based wireless sensor networks have the advantages of dynamic topology configuration and flexible selection of forwarding paths. However, like other schemes, the energy management of electronic device is a very important issue when the lifespan of the network is critical. The energy consumption of a grid based network depends on the topology of the grid as well as the actual forwarding pat...

Current GMPLS protocols can be used in a Grid enabled environment by properly defining a new interface between Grid and Transport layers. However, the asymmetric nature of Grid traffic makes GMPLS inefficient when establishing bidirectional connections. The User to Grid traffic is unlikely to be the same as the Grid to User traffic; whilst the location of the processing sites may be of no impor...

Improvements in networking and middleware technology are enabling large-scale grids that aggregate resources over wide-area networks to support applications at unprecedented levels of scale and performance. Unfortunately, existing middleware and tools can not in general inform a user as to the suitability of a given grid topology for a specific grid application. Instead, users generally develop...

Grid networks provide users with a transparent way to access computational and storage resources. The creation of high performance Communication capabilities in multiple organizations and their interconnection in to a high speed fiber communications mesh have been described as Lambda Grid. We propose a modified ACO-based algorithm which can provided on-demand and dynamically light paths on a gr...

Infectious diseases heed no national borders. In order to enhance international research collaboration, the government of Japan launched a program in 2005, which is now named the Japan Initiative for Global Research Network on Infectious Diseases (J-GRID). This program includes establishing collaborative research centers in Asian and African countries on a reciprocal basis between Japanese univ...
