Peer-to-peer checkpointing arrangement for mobile grid computing systems

This paper deals with a novel, distributed, QoS-aware, peer-topeer checkpointing arrangement component for mobile Grid (MoG) computing systems middleware. Checkpointing is more crucial in MoG systems than in their wired counterparts due to node mobility and less reliable wireless links resulting in frequent and dynamic connections and disconnections. Having determined the globally optimal checkpoint arrangement to be NP-complete, we consider ReD, our Reliability Driven (ReD) protocol, employing QoS-aware heuristics, for constructing superior peerto-peer checkpointing arrangements efficiently.
