Collaboration in a Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed by Virtual Consortium

This paper describes the formation of the Wireless Grid Innovation Testbed (WGiT) coordinated by a virtual consortium involving academic and non-academic entities. Syracuse University and Virginia Tech are primary university partners with several other academic, government, and corporate partners. Objectives include: coordinating knowledge sharing, defining key parameters for wireless grids network applications, dynamically connecting wired and wireless devices, content and users.
