Wireless grids are defined as ad-hoc dynamic sharing of physical and virtual resources among heterogeneous devices. Recent relevant and related work regarding wireless grids include works on user and socio-technical perspectives and challenges; coordination of user and device behaviors; future internet applications and bridging communicative channels. There has been increasing acknowledgement of the nascent growth of wireless grids as a new engineering field of scientific inquiry and innovation. The grid is an emerging infrastructure that will fundamentally change the way we think about and use computing.
 
A broader understanding of the nature of the opportunities offered by grid computing and the technologies needed to realize those opportunities is required. The concept of a virtual workspace, as a configurable execution environment can be created and managed by reflecting client requirements. The development of WiGiT will stimulate a variety of groups to use this technology in ways that are beyond their present understanding.
