Quality Assured Ad Hoc Grids

This paper presents an integrated architecture for ad hoc Grids developed within the Java CoG Kit project. It provides an overview of the key component frameworks that collectively build the ad hoc Grid architecture. Further, it outlines a formal model that can be formally evaluated. The paper also presents an enhancement to the Java CoG Kit to address requirements posed by ad hoc Grids. It integrates into the Java CoG Kit commodity technologies such as Jxta, and ClassAds.
