Abstract :
Due to the rapidly increasing of the mobile devices attached to the Internet. A lot of researches had been developed to manage and maximize the benefit of such integration. The innovations of this research are to build a mobile computing scheduling mechanism that considers the mobile clients as resources. Such mechanism help in increasing the performance of the mobile computing environment, by distributing some of the functions of the access point among the available attached mobile devices. To this aim, the first step is how the mobile devices are ranked and evaluated as a resource. The proposed mechanism is based on an investigating "self ranking algorithm" which provides the greatest chance in achieving a proper solution depends on event based programming approach to start its execution in a pervasive computing environment. Using such mechanism would simplify the scheduling process by grouping the mobile devices according to their self ranking value and assign tasks to these groups, maximize the profit of the mobile devices integration with the already existed grid systems by using their computational power as an addition to the system overall power
