ABSTRACT

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 computing to pervasive and utility computing based on the advanced capabilities of the wireless networks and the lightweight, thin devices. This has as result the emergence of a new computing paradigm which is the Mobile Grid.
