Task scheduling is an integrated component of computing. With the emergence of grid and ubiquitous computing, newer challenges have arisen in task scheduling. Unlike traditional parallel computing, grid is a shared enterprising environment where is no central control. The goal of grid task scheduling is to achieve high system throughput and to match the application needs with the available comp...

The fields of Grid, Utility and Cloud Computing have a set of common objectives in harnessing shared resources to optimally meet a great variety of demands cost-effectively and in a timely manner Since Grid Computing started its technological journey about a decade earlier than Cloud Computing, the Cloud can benefit from the technologies and experience of the Grid in building an infrastructure ...

Focusing on multi-machine distributed computing security problems in cloud computing, the paper has proposed a grid distributed parallel authentication model based on trusted computing, which can realize simultaneous verification of grid authentication and grid behavior on upper layer of SSL and TLS protocols. Adaptive grid authentication method is established applying adaptive stream cipher fr...

Grid computing and pervasive computing have rapidly emerged and affirmed as paradigms for high performance computing and for user-friendly computing respectively. These two separate worlds, however, can now interact each other in such a way that both pervasive and grid computing communities can benefit from integrating the two paradigms into a whole. This conjunction is already taking place to ...

This paper reviews the Grid Computing and its architecture. The Grid computing paradigm has been a major global research issue in distributed computing since its initiation in 1995. The aim of this research is to provide a Grid Computing environment based on Globus and .net or Java technologies which can be used in the frontier research on the application of the leading edge technology to provi...

GRID computing is often referred to as the next revolution after the Internet and the World Wide Web and evolved from high-performance and distributed computing during the 1990s. Although grid technologies were primarily intended to support computationally intensive scientific research because of the ever-growing need for computing resources, these technologies are increasingly being adopted in...

Submitted: Oct 9, 2013; Accepted: Nov 11, 2013; Published: Nov 19, 2013 Abstract: Grid computing offers an effective way to build high-performance computing systems, allowing users to efficiently access and integrate geographically distributed computers, data and applications. Grid computing and peer-to-peer computing are both hot topics at present. The convergence of the two systems is increas...
