This paper introduces MHGrid, a framework that exploits meta-heuristics based search methods and Grid computing to enable the transparent sharing of heterogeneous and dynamic resources offering a Grid based Global optimization framework. MHGrid allows a user to solve almost all kinds of global optimization problems in a Black Box manner with a minimal input from the user, it also allows the user to integrate his own solver into MHGrid. In this paper we will discuss the architecture and motivation of such a system. We will also discuss the challenges/complexities involved in constructing MHGrid.
