In this paper, a combination between volunteer computing and crowdsourcing is presented. Two paradigms of the web computing are described, analyzed and compared in detail: grid computing and volunteer computing. Characteristics of BOINC and its contribution to global Internet processing are shown with the stress put onto applications the system can facilitate and problems it can solve. An alternative instance of a grid computing...

The aim of this paper is pointing out the basic security problems and mechanisms in the Comcute system - maintenance system of large computing power in the face of critical crisis. Moreover security mechanism and tools useful to apply in laboratory model as well as target version of the Comcute system are presented.

Wyróżniono podstawowe problemy związane z bezpieczeństwem przetwarzania w systemie utrzymania wielkiej mocy obliczeniowej w sytuacjach kryzysowych Comcute. Ponadto na przykładzie architektury systemu modelowego przedstawiono mechanizmy bezpieczeństwa przydatne do zastosowania w projekcie.
