The Anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations

Computing Applications Anatomy of the Grid the Anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations

“Grid” computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, high performance orientation. In this article, the authors define this new field. First, they review the “Grid problem,” which is defined as flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dy...

Target Tracking Based on Virtual Grid in Wireless Sensor Networks

One of the most important and typical application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is target tracking. Although target tracking, can provide benefits for large-scale WSNs and organize them into clusters but tracking a moving target in cluster-based WSNs suffers a boundary problem. The main goal of this paper was to introduce an efficient and novel mobility management protocol namely Target Tr...

Grid Monitoring Architecture and Tools Used for Grid Monitoring

The Grid is a heterogeneous collection of resources providing a reliable admittance to all of the users thus enabling scalable virtual organizations for resource sharing between the geographically distributed communities. Grid monitoring involves the monitoring of the available resources and the network. The grid resources may dynamically join and leave that leads to monitoring of resources a m...

Fine-Grain Authorization for Resource Management in the Grid Environment

In this document we describe our work-in-progress for enabling fine-grain authorization of resource management. In particular we address the needs of Virtual Organizations (VOs) to enforce their own polices in addition to those of the resource owners.
