Distributed systems and fault tolerance

Mobile computing devices such as mobile phones together with a land-based and wireless communication network infrastructure are the existing technical prerequisites for continuous access to networked services. The security of the system is a high concern in this environment, as well as its usability. This paper presents a network infrastructure for using the Short Message Service (SMS) to communicate with mobile phones via a grid-enabled service. The network system includes: a messenger server, a messenger client, Globus Servers and the Short Message Service Centre (SMSC) tied together with XML-RPC, TCP/IP and GRAM protocols for communication. A Matlab tool to use the grid-enabled SMS has been implemented and we demonstrate its use in a grid-enabled application.
