Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordTask Load Balancing Strategy for Grid ComputingB. Yagoubi, Y. SlimaniWorkload and resource management are two essential functions provided at the service level of the Grid software infrastructure. To improve the global throughput of these environments, effective and efficient load balancing algorithms are fundamentally important. Most strategies were developed in mind, assuming homogeneous set of resources linked with homogeneous and fast networks. However for computational Grids we must address main … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,605 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA Secure Protocol Based on a Sedentary Agent for Mobile Agent EnvironmentsAbdelmorhit E. Rhazi, Samuel Pierre, Hanifa BouchenebThe main challenge when deploying mobile agent environments pertains to security issues concerning mobile agents and their executive platform. This paper proposes a secure protocol which protects mobile agents against attacks from malicious hosts in these environments. Protection is based on the perfect cooperation of a sedentary agent running inside a trusted third host. Results show that the protocol detects … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 6,878 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNew RFID System Architectures Supporting Situation Awareness under Ubiquitous EnvironmentsDongwon Jeong, Young-Gab Kim, Hoh InMany sensors providing situation data will be in everywhere under the ubiquitous environment. The current RFID system should be extended to recognize and use situation information from the sensors. This study proposes RFID system architectures that are suitable for the ubiquitous environment. This study applies the situation awareness concept to and extends the current RFID system architecture to be able … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 28 Jul 2006 · 7,045 accessesView PDFCite
