Abstract
In this paper we present a scientific computing system named MobileLab which is designed for pervasive computing on the Internet. A middleware named TOM (stands for Tsinghua Operation Middleware) is designed and employed in MobileLab as a key to access the grid. Based on TOM, MobileLab can access the computational resource transparently; distribute the components to optimize the computation procedure and computation can be moved from one node to another. To use a middleware model in the architecture of scientific computing system is our new approach corresponding to the grid computing and mobile computing.
The work is supported by the 863 national high technology plan (under the contract 2003AA1Z2090) and by Tsinghua University research fund (Jc2003021).
