Wireless communication based applications always need adaptation techniques because the bandwidth and the resources of the network often change during the execution of an application. These applications are characterized by a low bandwidth, small data sets and low-end machines. At the opposite of the spectrum, Grid applications use powerful supercomputers, high bandwidth networks and process large amount of data. However, during an application run, both the bandwidth of the network and the computing resources may also vary. In this paper, we show than despite the difference between these kinds of applications, Grid applications can benefit from adaptation techniques primarily designed for wireless applications.
