Global Grids and Software Toolkits: A Study of Four Grid Middleware Technologies by Parvin Asadzadeh, Rajkumar Buyya, Chun Ling Kei, Deepa Nayar, and Srikumar Venugopal
http://www.gridbus.org/pa pers/gmchapter.pdf

Grid is an infrastructure that involves the integrated and collaborative use of computers, networks, databases and scientific instruments owned and managed by multiple organizations. Grid applications often involve large amounts of data and/or computing resources that require secure resource sharing across organizational boundaries. This makes Grid application management and deployment a complex undertaking. Grid middlewares provide users with seamless computing ability and uniform access to resources in the heterogeneous Grid environment. Several software toolkits and systems have been developed, most of which are results of academic research projects, all over the world. This chapter will focus on four of these middlewares--UNICORE, Globus, Legion and Gridbus. It also presents our implementation of a resource broker for UNICORE as this functionality was not supported in it. A comparison of these systems on the basis of the architecture, implementation model and several other features is included.

Study sees decline in global handset
market


Study sees decline in global handset
market
06/22/2005 02:56 AM

The global handset market will slow down, so companies must target new demographics and create innovative marketing strategies for existing users, according to a new study by consultancy Frost & Sullivan.

Although the total number of mobile handsets sold is expected to rise, the average price of each unit is expected to fall as vendors aim at emerging markets. Overall, worldwide revenues are projected to fall by nearly 16 percent by the end of the decade -- from $126.28 billion in 2004 to $106.59 billion in 2010.

The study, which described the current era in the handheld industry as one of "transition," offered suggestions to help handset companies attempt to turn the trend around. One way for the industry to gain revenue is to market newer and more expensive technology to existing handheld users, Frost & Sullivan said. For instance, the "smart phone," which includes a mobile phone, a PDA (personal digital assistant), and a notebook computer all in one, could appeal to current and former users because such a device is easier to carry than several different devices.

Another important move for mobile handheld device companies is to market toward the technology friendly youth market. Young people between the ages of 13 and 25 offer a lucrative revenue stream and the youth market represents demand for a variety of applications such as downloading ringtones, text messaging and interactive gaming. In fact, youths' downloading of ringtones accounts for the majority of the industry's current revenue.

But perhaps more important is another universal characteristic young customers in particular represent -- the demand for similar quality in wireless devices as in the wired Internet and the unwillingness to settle for less, the study said.

The study, which surveyed hundreds of companies, added that the industry should be -- and is -- turning its focus to emerging markets around the world. By moving production facilities to new regions that will soon experience greater wireless penetration the companies will be able to save on production costs and create proximity to the untapped markets.

The study suggested that though revenues are expected to decline, consumer electronics is still shifting more and more toward mobile devices. It hinted that the handheld industry will have a chance to capitalize as long as companies aggressively explore markets and demographics and respond quickly to the customers' need for personalized and integrated wireless equipment.

    It recently occurred to me that most of the software developers I know (at least those on Unixish operating systems) seem to fall into two groups: Those who mostly use the basic tools, APIs, and environment they're given. Those who, over time, begin to construct their own platforms by layering their own libraries, APIs, and--more fundamentally--their ideas and philosophies on top of the base platform. It's interesting. At first I figured it had to do with how long someone had...
