Publication Details PU-6 - `Grids in a Mobile World: Akogrimo’s Network and Business Views´


April 2006; Martin Waldburger, Cristian Morariu, Peter Racz, Jürgen Jähnert, Stefan Wesner, Burkhard Stiller

Abstract:
The use of wireless networking technologies has emerged over recent years in many application domains. The area of grids determines a potentially huge application domain, since the typical centralized computing centers require access from anywhere, e.g., from field engineers who are situated in a wireless network domain. Thus, the integration of suitable business views on mobile grids, of grid views on available technologies, and network views in a fully IP-based network domain determines the key challenge. The Akogrimo project’s architecture developed, is outlined and discussed in this paper and provides the major details required to offer a fully integrated and interoperable solution for those three views of concern.

Keywords:
Mobile Grid, Accounting, Charging, IP-based Grid Services, Multi-domain, Dynamic Virtual Organization
