Abstract
Grid computing and pervasive computing have rapidly emerged and affirmed as paradigms for high performance computing and for user-friendly computing respectively. These two separate worlds, however, can now interact each other in such a way that both pervasive and grid computing communities can benefit from integrating the two paradigms into a whole. This conjunction is already taking place to yield the pervasive grid computing model, and the present paper is focused on this approach. Purposely, it describes an Access&Location service for pervasive grid applications which uses RFID and WiFi technologies to grant access and locate mobile objects within a pervasive environment. Since this service is compliant to the OGSA specifications, it can be easily integrated into classic grid environments, therefore enhancing them with pervasive capabilities.
