Combining Mobile Internet and Grid technologies could mean the ability to command the power of supercomputers with a mobile device, anywhere, anytime. The computing and data transfer capacities of mobile devices are expanding, and Grid-related technologies in them are already being employed. In this paper, we survey the current technologies and standards, mainly concentrating on MIDP (Mobile In...

Research on mobile robot navigation has produced two major paradigms for mapping indoor environments: grid-based and topological. While grid-based methods produce accurate metric maps, their complexity often prohibits efficient planning and problem solving in large-scale indoor environments. Topological maps, on the other hand, can be used much more efficiently, yet accurate and consistent topo...

A wired Grid recognizes resources connected with a fixed network as shared resources. But the present computing environment is evolving to mobile computing environment that involves mobile devices and wireless network. Therefore, the next generation Grids should offer an environment that uses a mobile device as a Grid resource not recognized in wired Grids. It is necessary to develop a system m...

Ad hoc network is an infra structure less network, which is formed by heterogeneous mobile devices like laptops, PDAs, cell phones etc. which have different computational capability, power, hardware and software. These devices can be integrated to form an infrastructure known as grid. In order to effectively share and use these heterogeous resources we visualize a grid overlay on this network. ...

In this paper we present a proposal of a middleware to integrate mobile computing with grid computing. We describe the support to be provided by the combination of the two technologies, propose a middleware to support the development and management of mobile grids, and discuss how this scenario contributes to the development of a new age of mobile service applications.

The systematic processes exactly define the development cycle and help the development team follow the same development strategies and techniques, thus allowing a continuous improvement in the quality of the developed products. Likewise, it is important that the development process used integrates security aspects from the first stages at the same level as other functional and non-functional re...

Recent years have seen drastic increase in number of mobile devices which are becoming popular not only by their communication flexibility but also for their computational capability. A collection of mobile devices together form a grid. In the proposed model, it is assumed that the set of jobs are accumulated to the primary machine, though they might have been submitted anywhere in the grid. It...

Recent advancements in technology and computing environments have extended the scope of classification criteria for traditional grids to include wireless, mobile and ad hoc grids based on the criteria of Accessibility. The realization of the benefits of grids to a larger extent is based on the effective discovery of resources (which could be heterogeneous in nature) that are part of the grid. T...

Most current Grid monitoring systems provide a visual user interface. With recent advances in multimedia capabilities in user terminals, there is a strong trend towards interactive, multi-modal and multi-platform visualization. In this paper we describe a multi-platform visualization architecture and a Web based service built upon it, which provides a view of the monitored Grid hierarchy, and t...
