Providing Service Grid Capabilities on Mobile PhonesMeisam HEJAZINIA, Mohammad Reza RAZZAZIAmirkabir University of Technology, Dept. of Computer and IT Engineering Tehran Iran hejazinia@aut.ac.ir, razzazi@aut.ac.ir Mobile phones are ubiquitous today; this provides us a huge opportunity to provide services through them. Mobile phones have constraints in their memory capacity and processor, but still they have the same capability of PCs in early 90s. Many investigations have been made on grid services, but we have a lack of investigation on providing service grid functionality on mobile phones. Mobile phone grid concept, uses current infrastructure of grids, and only adds mobile phones, as terminals of processing, or using this current services, nevertheless having all other modules of grid computing on servers. We investigated providing service grid functionalities on mobile phones. In this paper, we will define scenarios that mobile phones could be used as service providers. We see mobile phones as servers not simple terminals. By using the underlying society network, we will show how services could be provided. Our contribution is providing the required mechanism to have mobile phone service grid. Many mechanisms developed previously for service grids are not suitable for unique features of mobile phones. Thus, we developed the required functionality, which is a new break through to the new world of having ubiquitous services on mobile phones. Keywords:mobile phone, grid computing, service |
