Ad hoc grid: uma grade computacional entre-pares auto-organizável.

Abstract

The grid computing paradigm has been quite evolved in recent years, stimulating the development of a growing number of middlewares for distributed computing. In addition to revolutionizing the discipline of distributed computing, the community of computational grids is improving its standards and protocols. One of the challenges of this progress, that will make the grid even more attractive, is to make it a mechanism increasingly easy to be deployed, maintained and used, and to enable the interaction between the various solutions of grid now available. A new approach to ad hoc grids has been studied, aiming to make some of these characteristics become viable. In this work, it was developed a self-organizing version (ad hoc) of a peer-to-peer grids based on the OurGrid middleware. Among the characteristics of an ad hoc grid, were highlighted the structural independence and control independence. The control independence ensures that the grid supports administrative functions without a central point of coordination, whereas the structural independence ensures the self-organization of the grid.
