Abstract
This paper outlines an original Computational Grid deployment protocol which is entirely based on Java, leveraging the portability of this language for distributing customized computations throughout large-scale heterogeneous networks. It describes practical solutions to the current weaknesses of Java in the fields of security and resource control. In particular, it shows how resource control can be put to work not only as basis for load balancing, but also to increase the security and general attractiveness of the underlying economic model.
