Abstract

Many production level Grid systems deployed today are characterized by their focus on the integration of dedicated high-end systems and their high administration and maintenance costs. We make the case for lightweight Grid middleware as a prerequisite to harnessing general computing resources in order to achieve large scale computing. We outline the characteristics of the environment in which such a lightweight Grid operates and the ensuing middleware requirements. We analyze the possible contribution of two distributed frameworks, Jini and JXTA, in achieving these requirements.
