Wireless Grids: Squeezing a Grid Onto a Widget
http://www.isgtw.org/?pid=1002545
As wireless devices become increasingly common, and common devices become increasingly “smart,” wireless grids become increasingly practical. That means that the timing is perfect for WiGiT, a wireless grid testbed which will begin testing its alpha software in June. The purpose of WiGiT (Wireless Grids innovation Testbed), according to the Syracuse University project leader Lee McKnight, is to refine open specifications for a wireless grid standard, and create a stable platform for experimentation. “With WiGiT we expect to be able to do these large scale experiments from campus to campus, and we can run little experiments on that,” McKnight said. “Open specifications will make it easier for others to latch on.” This has been aded to Grid, Distributed and Cloud Computing Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
