Analysis of remotely sensed images on the Grid platform from mobile handheld devices - a trial

With the tremendous advances in hand-held computing and communication capabilities, rapid proliferation of mobile computing environments, and decreasing device costs, we are seeing a growth in mobile e-Geoscience in various consumer and business markets. The trend is also picking up in large enterprises where dependency on mobile e-business environments has become routine for thousands of employees conducting daily business activities. Grid is a new technology. With corresponding middleware it can give strong computing power. We mainly discuss our experience on the middleware development and architecture used in remote sensing data analysis using Mobile handheld devices. It clearly shows that the possibilities of using Grid computing technology to real-time update spatial databases regularly by means of telecommunications systems in order to support problem solving and decision-making at any time and any place.
