Abstract :
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been deployed for collecting the observed data across different areas. The continuous evolution of wireless networks and sensors emerges a new instrument concept which is called SensorWeb network. This type of network measures data related to geospatial information and can detect the conditions of remote places as a new instrument for environmental monitoring in the physical world. On the other hand the uninterrupted demand of the scientific community for computational and storage resources led us to the Grid Computing. Grid Computing is the combination of several distributed computational resources to a single problem at the same time, usually to a scientific or technical problem that requires a great number of computer processing cycles and a huge storage capability of data.
