Most probably we all have heard about something known as “Grid Computing”. This computing paradigm enable computers on a network to share processing/computation tasks. Meaning some sort of parallel processing are going on, with the objective of getting any task done in minimum time by making intelligent use of available resources. Lots of research has been conducted and are still going on.
Now, imagine a world where our mobile phones connect to each other while being in range, for e.g., using bluetooth, and communicate, exchange computation tasks of each and every user. You might be thinking of the benefits of all these. Well, they are, more memory space, more cpu clock cycles, in terms of applications, you yourself you can imagine things that is possible using this technology.
Similar to this, we have something known as “Mobile Grid Computing”. However, does it take the social aspect into consideration, does it permit us to have our own mobile server running on our mobile phones, is it mature enough to be considered for building commercial applications,…. So to answer these questions, let us all join mind and heart together to make this new technology a really, which I named as, “Everyone Computing“. Meaning, everyone can help in the realisation of smart environments.
Discussions on this new concept/technology is being conducted in the “Pervasive Computing Society” group in www.researchgate.net.
If interested, please join the group and start discussing the different issues involved.
