Wireless grids, a new type of resource-sharing network, connect sensors, mobile phones, and other edge devices with each wired grids. Ad hoc distributed resource sharing allows these to offer resources locations use for grid computing. This article places wireless grids in context, explains their basic requirements, provides an example implementation that uses audio recording. Finally, it introduces articles this special issue on architectures applications.
There have been previous hints that the transiting planet WASP-3 b is accompanied by a second in nearby orbit, based on small deviations from strict periodicity of observed transits. Here we present 17 precise radial velocity measurements and 32 transit light curves were acquired between 2009 2011. These data used to refine parameters host star planet. This has resulted reduced uncertainties for radii masses The radial-velocity times show no evidence an additional system. Therefore,...
Government and industry initiatives to stimulate the diffusion of high-performance broadband telecommunications links have given a fresh impetus debates over social economic implications growing use Internet other information communication technologies (ICTs). This paper analyses how outcomes tied ICT innovation are shaped by choices about whether use, or not technology reconfigure access people, services, in ways that significantly change communicative power individuals, communities,...
'Edgeware' for wireless grid connectivity, utilizes open specifications developed by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Partnerships Innovation (PFI) 'Wireless Grid Testbed' (WiGiT) to enable greater interoperability across devices, networks, applications, content and services. A wide range of new 'edgeware' applications is emerging businesses, education, government agencies individuals. Challenges in emergency response include interoperability, social human factors. 'Edgeware,' a class...
Computer engineering, economics and public policy offer different perspectives on the problem of sustaining Internet growth without abandoning technological innovations that underpin infrastructure-and culture-of global information. This article offers a framework for addressing this interdisciplinary challenge. We examine how often conflicting overlapping interests constituencies are beginning to yield rough consensus. In particular, we believe these recognize can be explained by...
The long-term societal implications of reshaping access for individuals, communities, organisations, nations and regions across the world are major significance, but not predetermined by technology. Instead, they will unfold over time through complex interplay among many actors, participating in arena, who shape these outcomes a wide range social, policy technical choices, some as simple whether or to go online. Many choices that future broadband Internet its highlighted this paper, which...
In this paper, we describe wireless grids, an emerging technology that enables ad hoc sharing of resources (such as screen, services and microphone) on edge devices mobile Internet devices, laptops phones). As have become common, "smart," grids practical. To highlight the capabilities to support collaborative learning, projects at K-12 undergraduate levels illustrate grid theory is transitioning into practice. We hypothesize can transform how students learn, content courses, learning-related...
The interest in cloud computing by organizations has driven a core desire to become more effective and efficient with information technology (IT). Cloud enables utilize instantly provisioned scalable IT resources on pay-per-use basis. wireless grid provides new model for heterogeneous devices share physical virtual within an ad-hoc environment no dedicated server needed manage the network. Both of these technologies provide opportunities innovative architectures but also have number security...
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are playing a significant role in economic, political cultural development. The relationship between technologies supporting information processing distribution, the application of that knowledge for development purposes has only recently come into focus. discovery, publication new knowledge, dissemination concerning best practices exchange views opinions now considered essential elements work. These functions it is increasingly recognized,...
