ACM SIGMOBILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review
Volume 6 , Issue 4 (October 2002)
Pages: 71 - 73
Year of Publication: 2002

Abstract:
This article briefly describes the issues related to providing mobile access to computational, data, and service Grids. Then it describes our preliminary efforts to enhance computational and service Grids to handle mobile access. In particular, we focus on how the HARNESS mobile extensions project approaches the problem of enhancing Grid computers with mobile access and we describe how the InviNet project provides access to service Grids with consistent quality of service.

My Discussion:
Two page papaer, just provides an overview of the system the writers are working, plus some useful terminology. What has been written about how they see mobile devices interacting with their computational girds shows a sound understanding of what mobile systems can bring and what constraints (network drops, low bandwidth) they are under. It would be interesting to look up their references for other work they have done.
