Grid computing involves the sharing of distributed resources such
as supercomputers, clusters, storage, instrumentation and people.
Such resources are typically identified with different
organisations and are made available to others through a
computational middleware. The construction and development of such
middlewares is the fundamental idea behind the term Grid Computing.
The idea of a computational grid is analogous to an electric power
network (grid(, where power generators are distributed, but the
users are able to access electric power without bothering about the
source of energy and its location. Applications developers need to
be able to use vast amounts of computing power quickly and easily,
without the huge investment in infrastructure. Over the last number
of years advances have been made in this area of computing, such
that it is now feasible to create, deploy, and execute large scale
applications. Such applications can be either compute intensive or
data intensive, or indeed a combination of both. Supporting
applications within the different Grid computing systems is
providing interesting and challenging aspects for future
development of such systems. As our understanding of the
applications being developed evolves, so does the requirements of
the Grid systems selected to execute these tasks. The aim of this
book is to provide an insight into some of the current developments
in Grid technologies and applications that execute on these
technologies and can be used by graduate/postgraduate students,
researchers, and educators. It can also serve as a good reference
book for the practitioners in this field. The book consists of a
collection of articles from experts in their fields. The book is
split into these two sections: *Algorithms and Techniques,
*Methodology, Middleware and Tools.
