This paper provides a discussion on the Mobile Grid concept, the revisions that this implies in the Grid technology and the altercations that have to be met in order to address the new computing paradigm, mainly focused on the aspect of resource administration, which is the heart of every Grid functionality. Grid computing has recently migrated from traditional high performance and distributed ...

Grid technology emerged (mainly) in response to the need of making efficient use of underutilized computer resources, and the availability of many commercial and freeware grid management software is making a reality the dream of having huge distributed grid computing at reasonable costs. In this paper a brief introduction to the concept of grid computing is presented, and in order to evidence t...

As Grid computing technologies and infrastructures are being developed, suitable abstractions, methods, and tools will become necessary to enable application development, and software development of the components of Grid Computing Environments. Grid Computing will enable distributed applications with large numbers of involved components with dynamic interactions. This requires new approaches t...

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW The speed and unpredictability of business cycles have pushed many enterprises to the limit of manageability. Organizations need to become more adaptable but often their information systems are slow to respond. At the same time, these enterprises want to gain greater efficiency from their IT systems and lower the cost of computing. Grid computing is a new IT architecture that...

In Grid computing, a common task is performed by combining the resources from different locations or domains. It will use only the fixed number of resources available in different locations. It doesn’t scale the resources according to the users’ demand. On the other hand cloud computing provides resources to users according to their demand. Grid computing uses the autoscaling capacity of cloud ...

The need for reliable, redundant, and clean power generation in power systems is becoming more importance. This need requires geographically-distributed power systems to be integrated as a single entity where among the main features of this integration are large data base and computing intensive. Hence the current power systems are not able to handle this huge datasets required for that integra...

Computational grid nowadays has become a hotspot in high performance computing environments because it can solve larger scale computing problems. The present load balance strategy in computing grid such as the Globus tools is static. This paper mainly focuses on dynamic load balance in the computational grid. We put forward a new model that solves the dynamic load balance problems on computatio...

Grid computing presents a new trend to distributed and Internet computing to coordinate large scale resources sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. Due to the diverse failures and error conditions in the grid environments, developing, deploying, and executing applications over the grid is a challenge, thus dependability is a key factor for grid compu...
