There has been growing interest in the use of mobile devices for providing access to the various applications, services and resources within grid computing environments. As is the case for most access to grid resources, the use of mobile devices requires user authentication. Given the limited amount of power available for mobile devices, the applications on these devices, including the authenti...

As Grid technology evolves it is becoming evident that the inclusion of mobile devices in a Grid environment will benefit both the Grid and mobile network communities. Many mobile devices, however, have limits on their computational resources that make it difficult to achieve this goal. The Personal Distributed Environment (PDE) is a new concept in mobile networks which, by constraining the pro...

The growing availability of networked mobile devices has created a vast collective potential of unexploited resources. Grid computing with its model of coordinated resource sharing may provide a way to utilize such resources that are normally distributed throughout a mobile ad-hoc network. In this paper, we explore the challenging operation of Grid computing in mobile ad-hoc networks which are ...

With the rapid advances of mobile computing and grid technology, it has increasingly the trend to offer a mobile computational grid environment. Mobile users usually use mobile agent to submit their computing requests to computational grids on the Internet. On the cases of multiple operations over single dataset, single operation over multiple dataset, or multiple operations over multiple datas...

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 computi...

Grid computing has recently migrated from traditional high performance and distributed computing to pervasive and utility computing based on the advanced capabilities of the wireless networks and the lightweight, thin devices. This has as result the emergence of a new computing paradigm which is the Mobile Grid. This paper provides a discussion on Mobile Grid definition, the basic motivation an...

Grid computing is the virtualization and pooling of IT resources such as compute power, storage and network capacity, and so on into a single set of shared services that can be provisioned or distributed, and then redistributed as needed. Researchers integrate the mobile devices in the grid which results in Mobile Grid. The mobile agent paradigm has attracted many attentions recently but it is ...

In this paper, we discuss on the extension of grid computing systems in mobile computing environments, where mobile devices can be effectively incorporated into the grid either as service recipients or as more valuable service providers. First, based on the present grid architecture, we try to figure out what would be the newly required services in such a mobile/grid integrated architecture. Th...

Recent advances in mobile computing, and strong interest of the scientific community in the Grid have led to research into the Mobile Grid. One primary issue associated with the efficient and effective utilization of mobile resources in a mobile grid is scheduling of tasks. In this paper, a task scheduling algorithm is proposed based on the dynamic prediction of resource mobility and battery po...
