Toward a data desktop grid computing based on BonjourGrid meta-middleware

Desktop Grid or Voluntary Computing systems forms one of the biggest computing platforms in using idles resources over Internet or over LAN's networks. Desktop Grids have been successfully used for solving scientific applications around the world at low cost. However, the data requirements of e-Science applications increase dramatically with the emergence of data-intensive applications. Hence data management becomes one of the major challenge of Desktop Grids. In this work, we describe important challenges that are needed to implementing scalable data-intensive solution in Desktop Grids systems. In addition, we explore the state-of-the art in tools and frameworks for Big Data handling. The proposal solution will be integrated in BonioueCrid Desktop Grid.
