New Directions in Computing on Demand (CoD)

Today, utility computing and Computing on Demand (CoD) could be parallelized to Grid computing because the latter is the best available technology to enable computing power as a massively available utility. In the present paper, iWatt, a naïve linear measurement for CoD services is introduced. The innovative feature of iWatt is considered to be the fact that facilitates both a consumption assignment to a Grid-ready service and a producing capability to CoD infrastructure in an analogous way to electric power device-network interaction.
