Abstract
Grid is a system that coordinates resources that are not subject to centralized control and provides environment for secure resource sharing through geographically distributed networks. Grid system lacks the autonomy and flexible behaviour. Mobile agents are autonomous programs that live and roam in the distributed environment, sense and act in the environment to achieve the goal. We propose a communication model that integrates both Grid system and Mobile Agent to perform parallel computations with secured communication in a complete heterogeneous and distributed environment. This framework is platform independent.
