Grid networks aim to build a future architecture for efficient resource sharing and distributed service provisioning in a multi-provider environment. However, mobility, QoS support, and commercial service provisioningall essential issues in future networks -pose new challenges to grid networks, both from a technical and economic point of view. Therefore, the Akogrimo project aims at developing an integrated service architecture for commercial mobile grid networks. This paper presents the Akogrimo architecture and its key characteristics, integrating mobility and network layer QoS support in a commercial grid environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
