Connecting Devices With Wireless Grids

Roland Piquepaille writes "A new concept is emerging in networking: wireless grids. These grids connect all kinds of wireless devices, such as sensors or cell phones, with each other and with more traditional wired grids. IEEE Internet Computing has devoted a very long and thorough article about these wireless grids which can deliver new resources, locations of use, and institutional ownership and control patterns for grid computing via ad hoc distributed resource sharing." (Read more below.)

"The article says that applications for wireless grids fall into three classes: the ones which aggregate information from the range of input/output interfaces found in nomadic devices, those which focus on the locations and contexts in which the devices exist, and those that leverage the mesh network capabilities of collections of nomadic devices. The authors add that these grids "emerged from a combination of the proliferation of new spectrum market business models, innovative technologies deployed in diverse wireless networks, and three related computing paradigms: grid computing, P2P computing, and Web services." If you're interested in the future of wireless networks, the original article is a must-read, but check this summary if your time is limited."

    First off: Better theme

    Now, my reasoning.
    The Sun. <-- See that? Well, a lot of you won't know what it is. It's the "sun". It's bright, and it represents light, which a majority of you (me included) dislike. It's too unlike our housing areas (parent's basements).

    The IT theme reminds all geeks everywhere of "real life".

    I don't know why it took me this long to figure it out...

    I think I'm going to come up with a stylesheet of my own JUST for it.slashdot and report back later. Dammit all I HATE dealing with stylesheets. I leave that crap up to the visual designers with their precious "Macintosh" computers. But holy Predator on a stick, even I have more style sense than THIS.

    Oh, and moderators: THIS IS OFFTOPIC.

    Why must you encourage these karma whores by giving them karma? All this guy did is click the big ass printer icon at the very top of the page and paste the link here. Honestly, is that really worth a +5? A -1, Redundant would be more appropriate.
