In distributed computing paradigm, mobile surrogate systems have not gained wide acceptance because of security concerns that have not been suitably addressed yet. Currently even the widely used Grid middleware, Globus, does not have a host authentication mechanism, which makes it hard to provide high performance Grid computing capabilities to mobile clients. In this paper, a mobile Grid service framework is designed and implemented in order to provide Grid services to mobile host such as PDA. The surrogate host-based system allows mobile hosts to be provided with Grid services while moving. The implemented mobile Grid services system has been applied to mobile healthcare system which utilizes Grid computing for ECG signal processing. The presented system framework can be used as a secure enterprise mobile healthcare system for hospital physicians.

High speed computer, large scale storage device and high speed computer network are computing infrastructure which we can easily access to in these days. However, many computer simulations in natural or applied science such as molecular simulation require more computing power as well as larger scale of storage. Grid computing which is a next generation of distributed computing environment, is one of solution for the new requirements. Even though many researches have been going on Grid computing, those are oriented to communication interface and protocols, and middleware like globus tool kits[2, 3]. Therefore research on application level platform or application itself is yet premature and it makes real users be difficult to utilize Grid system for their research. In this paper, we suggest a new user environment and an abstract job model for simulation experiments on MGrid(Molecular Simulation Grid). It will make users be able to utilize Grid resources efficiently and reliably.

Grid Computing has enabled enormous amount of computational jobs by connecting distributed computing resources. This technology has developed and widely used in various fields. Previous researches usually focused on how to efficiently manage and use the grid resources. However, there was not enough tries to understand and manage information of application softwares in a well-defined structure. Therefore users in application domain need to how about grid deeply to identify and describe the resource requirements matching for each jobs. We introduce a semantic grid management system based on application ontology to overcome this problem. We design and implement the ontology to store various information of the applications. With the ontology, this system can infer the resource requirements from input parameters and input data of the application software and automatically assign appropriate resources by matching the requirement. Also it can transform the information to other forms which grid middlewares can handle. We apply the system to construct an analysis environment of bioinformatics and compare it with other grid systems to explain usefulness of the system.

In this paper, we designed and implemented a web-based grid scheduling platform(WGridSP), which can model a system and simulate scheduling scheme in grid computing. WGridSP used GridSim, a grid scheduling toolkit in java-environment, as a tool for simulation and is able to Perform resource modeling, task modeling, algorithm compiling, simulation, and Performance evaluation rapidly in web environment. WGridSP can be applied as a foundation for grid research and can be used to analyze the efficiency of scheduling algorithm.

In these days, internet environment are very quickly development as well on-line service have been using a online for the mission critical business around the world. As the amount of information to be processed by computers has recently been increased there has been cluster computing systems developed by connecting workstations server using high speed networks for high availability. but cluster computing technology are limited for a lot of IT resources. So, grid computing is an expanded technology of distributed computing technology to use low-cost and high-performance computing power in various fields. Although the purpose of Grid computing focuses on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and in some case, high-performance orientation, it has been used as conventional distributed computing environment like clustered computer until now because grid middleware does not have common sharable information system. In order to use grid computing environment efficiently which consists of various grid middleware, it is necessary to have application-independent information system which can share information description and services, and expand them easily. This paper proposed new database architecture and load balancing for high availability through Grid technology.

서비스를 기반으로 하지 않은 기존의 그리드 환경에서 병렬 작업 처리를 위한 그리드 어플리케이션은 여래 개의 노드에서 병렬적으로 동일한 작업을 수행하였지만, 웹서비스가 통할된 서비스 기반의 그리드 환경에서는 선형 워크플로우가 여러 개의 서비스 노드에 걸쳐 수행된다. 그러므로 그리드 어플리케이션의 수행 속도 항상을 위해서는 서비스와 서비스 간의 관계를 고려하여야 한다. 그러나 그리드 자원이 각 관리영역마다 이질적이고 그리드 자원의 상태가 동적이어서 그리드 어플리케이션의 성능을 예측하기는 어렵다. 또한 서비스 기반의 그리드 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 사용자의 QoS(Quality of Service)를 보장하여 사용자의 요구 사항을 만족시킬 수 있어야 하기 때문에 사용자 요구에 미달하는 성능 저하와 같은 결함이 발생하였을 경우 이에 대처할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서비스 기반 그리드 컴퓨팅 환경의 특징을 반영하는 워크플로우 관리 시스템의 구조를 설계하고 서비스 수행 성능을 예측하기 위한 서비스 특성에 관한 모델링과 적응적 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 적응적 스케쥴링 기법에서는 서비스 간의 관계를 고려하기 위해 최대 흐름 알고리즘(Maximum-Flow Algorithm)을 이용하는 방법과 사용자의 QoS에 대한 수행성능을 보장하기 위해 서비스의 성능 저하 시에 발생하는 결항을 포용할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다.

This paper deals with grid job allocation and grid resource scheduling to provide a stable and quicker job processing service to grid users. In this paper, we proposed a fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model for an effective job scheduling in computational grid environment. The fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model measures resource efficiency of all grid resources by a fuzzy logic system based on diverse input parameters like CPU speed and network latency and divides resources into several groups by resource efficiency. And, the model allocates jobs to resources of a group with the highest resource efficiency. For performance evaluation, we implemented the fuzzy logic-based grid job scheduling model on the DEVS modeling and simulation environment and measured reduction rates of turnaround time, job loss, and communication messages in comparison with existing job scheduling models such as the random scheduling model and the MCT(Minimum Completion time) model. Experiment results that the proposed model is useful to improve the QoS of the grid job processing service.

In GRID environments, an efficient load balancing algorithm should be adopted since the system performances of GRID system are not homogeneous. In this work, a new two-step mesh-partitioning scheme based on the graph-partitioning scheme was introduced to consider the difference of system performance. In the two-step mesh-partitioning scheme, the system performance weights were calculated to reflect the effect of heterogeneous system performances and WEVM(Weighted Edge and vertex Method) was adopted to minimize the increase' of communications. Numerical experiments were carried out in multi-cluster environment and WAN (Wide Area Network) environment to investigate the effectiveness of the two-step mesh-partitioning scheme.

그리드는 지역적으로 분산된 이기종 컴퓨팅 자원을 하나의 가상 컴퓨팅 환경으로 통합하는 차세대 분산 컴퓨팅 기술이다. 그러나, 그리드는 다양한 형태의 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어 자원을 포항하고 있기 때문에 이러한 자원의 이기종 특성은 그리드에 대한 자원 모니터링과 자원 정보 수집을 어렵게 만든다. 본 논문에서는 국제 그리드 표준을 준수하는 그리드 미들웨어인 글로버스 툴킷에 기반하여 그리드를 구성하는 다양한 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어에 대한 자원 정보를 통합하고 이를 제공할 수 있는 그리드 자원정보 및 모니터링 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다.

그리드(Grid)[1] 환경은 분산되어 있는 고성능 컴퓨팅 자원과 방대한 데이터를 네트워크로 상호 연동하여 지역적으로 분산되어있다는 제약을 받지 않고 효과적으로 활용할 수 있는 환경으로 최근에 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 그리드 기술은 고성능 및 대용량의 계산 능력을 필요로 하는 과학 및 공학 응용 연구와, 상호 협력 작업을 가능하게 하는 협업 환경을 가능하게 해준다. 따라서 그리드 기술을 기반으로 분산된 자원을 사용자가 쉴게 사용할 수 있도록 해주는 문제해결환경(PSE Problem Solving Environment)에 대한 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이 논문은 현존하는 PSE의 기능을 분석하고, NT응용에서 사용 할 수 있는 포탈을 구축하고 활용하는 과정에서 실제 그리드 환경을 제공하는 서버측의 내용을 기술하였다.
