A Model Of Volunteer Resource For Global Computing System

Abstract

This paper discusses the challenges in computer systems research posed by the emerging field in global computing environment. It first research of this new field to its predecessors: Grid system and mobile computing. It is helpful to find out why and how can we use the spare volunteer-resource. This paper proposes a novel approach based on "virtual resource" come from bionics to share and provide running-time adaptation mechanism. The approach has been implemented and validated within voluntary platform Xtremweb. Finally, we gave a prototype to shows the theory and model mechanism is practical and efficient.
