An Architecture For Computational Grids Based On Proxy Servers

The Computational Grid concept allows for large-scale resource sharing. The implementation of Grid environments relies on the existence of a communications infrastructure and efficient resource management. Access control and secure communication are also required. Architectures to support Computational Grids can be developed in a variety of ways. This work presents an approach to create a Grid architecture based on Proxy Servers. This approach is intended to offer transparency and easy lightweight deployment architecture.
