Emerging Issues in Wireless Computational Grids for Mobile Devices

Overview In simulating resource-sharing in order to complete a computationally-expensive task by a grid of wireless mobile devices, the paper uncovers significant issues hitherto considered trivial. This paper aims to provide a survey of the emerging issues as they pertain to the wireless grid infrastructure. An important factor influencing task execution time is the mobility of the devices. Higher mobility is a critical factor affecting the grid performance. In other words, if the devices in the grid are highly mobile, this adversely impacts the time taken to perform a computationally-intensive task.

Quocirca's Straight Talking: Public sector goes mobile

Quocirca research carried out at the beginning of 2005 showed that slightly less than 70 per cent of public sector managers of mobility were aware of wireless email and other pilots - not the highest amongst the sectors covered in the survey but...

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
