Abstract

The extension of grid computing technology to ad-hoc mobile environments is giving rise to the development of ad-hoc grids, which enable wireless and mobile users to share computing resources, services, and information. However, the adaptation of grid technology to ad-hoc networks is not straightforward, and exhibits numerous difficulties (resource discovery, security, power consumption, QoS, etc.). This paper is focussed on the problem of resource discovery in ad-hoc grids, we study the existing resource and service discovery architectures, analyzing the main limitations of these systems (scalability, discovery delay, adaptation to changing conditions, etc.), and we propose a hybrid mechanism that overcomes these limitations.
