Grid computing and cluster computing platforms are becoming the primary development platforms for pervasive computing. The primary problem associated with both computational grids and clustering systems is the latency or bandwidth required for applying effective job submission and processing by remote systems. The control over the jobs submitted also poses problems for effective communication and remote computation. In this paper we discuss techniques in which different types of heterogeneous computing platforms and their resources are utilized over a decentralised interconnected network such as the Internet. The model is a web portal called the Cluster Based Web submission system or CBWeB which primarily focuses on offering GRID service components or resources to the end user without the additional complexities of installing special middleware components for utilizing remote resources. A Beowulf cluster was built and the model is currently being implemented. This model is an extensio...
