Distributed Computing For E-learning

Abstract

Distributed computing promises a standard, 'complete' set of grid computing capabilities. distributed
computing must provide basic functions such as resource discovery and information collection &
publishing, data management on and between resources, process management on and between
resources, common security mechanism underlying the above, process and session
recording/accounting. Main advantage of Grid computing is, a network of distributed resources
including computers, peripherals, switches, instruments, and data. Each user should have a single login
account to access all resources.

We start by analyzing the nature of Grid computing and its requirements for knowledge support; then,
we discuss knowledge characteristics and the challenges for knowledge management on the Grid. Here
we provide semantic based grid based applications for e-learning

Proposed System

We analyze the nature of Grid computing and identify its requirements for knowledge management. We
further argue that an innovative and systematic approach to knowledge

Management on the Grid is required in order to help achieve the goal of the Grid.

Our contributions are three folds: First, we propose the Semantic Web-based approach to managing
heterogeneous, distributed Grid resources for Grid applications. Second, we design architecture to
realize the proposed approach and conceive a methodology which addresses the complete life cycle of
knowledge management. Third, we apply the approach, concepts, and methodology to a real-world Grid
application
