An e-business grid model architecture for small and medium scale enterprises

Abstract
In grid computing a loosely coupled and virtual computing infrastructure is created out of a collection of connected heterogeneous processors sharing various combinations of resources. It is pertinent to note that African Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) cannot participate in the global market using the current e-business solution due to the lack of or nonexistent infrastructure to support such services. In this paper, we propose a grid service based solution that is indigenous to African SMEs and technologically tailored to meet their local needs. The solution is based on an Application Service Provider (ASP) grid framework. The framework is specified using Universal Modeling Language (UML)
