Abstract

There are many potential users and uses for grid computing. However,
the concept of sharing computing resources excites security concerns and,
whilst being powerful and flexible, at least for novices, existing systems are
complex to install and use. Together these represent a significant barrier to potential
users who are interested to see what grid computing can do. This paper
describes m-grid, a system for building a computational grid which can accept
tasks from any user with access to a web browser and distribute them to almost
any machine with access to the internet and manages to do this without the installation
of additional software or interfering with existing security arrangements.
