An Architecture for Handling Disconnections in Workflow Applications in Mobile Grid Environments

This article presents an approach for providing automated and coordinated features for applications execution in mobile grid configurations. Therefore, in this article is proposed and implemented an architecture that provides an execution flow adjustment, in disconnection cases, matching requirements of submitted application and options defined by the user of the mobile device. Experimental results show also that the approach consumed less battery energy of a PDA for submitting and monitoring applications in comparison with some related works (about 43\%). In addition, it provided interfaces with adapted and optimized characteristics according to some limitations and problems found in different mobile devices.
