Toward the Mobile Grid:Service Provisioning in a Mobile Dynamic Virtual Organization

Abstract

When considering mobile or nomadic users of commercial grid services, today's grids have to be reflected with regard to potential functional extensions needed, as well as emerging consequences on business modeling.In-line with a formalized investigation of such mobile grids, the concept of a mobile dynamic virtual organization (MDVO) is introduced, and relevant potentials are illustrated by means of a business scenario in e-health and tourism.
