Performance Evaluation of Mobile Grid Services

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 4953))

Abstract

This paper presents the performance evaluation of Mobile Grid Services developed by using the MGS application programming interface. The MGS API, constructed by combining an existing mobile agent system (JADE) and a generic grid system toolkit (Globus), is proposed to support the development of Mobile Grid Services (extended Grid services with mobility during execution). To examine the performance of the Mobile Grid Services, a series of experiments are conducted. The results, analysis and the overheads estimation are presented in this paper.
