Identifies Recent Technological Developments Worldwide
The field of grid computing has made rapid progress in the past
few years, evolving and developing in almost all areas, including
concepts, philosophy, methodology, and usages. Grid Computing:
Infrastructure, Service, and Applications reflects the recent
advances in this field, covering the research aspects that involve
infrastructure, middleware, architecture, services, and
applications.
Grid Systems Across the Globe
The first section of the book focuses on infrastructure and
middleware and presents several national and international grid
systems. The text highlights China Research and Development
environment Over Wide-area Network (CROWN), several ongoing
cyberinfrastructure efforts in New York State, and Enabling Grids
for E-sciencE (EGEE), which is co-funded by the European Commission
and the world s largest multidisciplinary grid infrastructure
today.
The second part of the book discusses recent grid service
advances. The authors examine the UK National Grid Service (NGS),
the concept of resource allocation in a grid environment, OMIIBPEL,
and the possibility of treating scientific workflow issues using
techniques from the data stream community. The book describes an
SLA model, reviews portal and workflow technologies, presents an
overview of PKIs and their limitations, and introduces PIndex, a
peer-to-peer model for grid information services.
New Projects and Initiatives
The third section includes an analysis of innovative grid
applications. Topics covered include the WISDOM initiative,
incorporating flow-level networking models into grid simulators,
system-level virtualization, grid usage in the high-energy physics
environment in the LHC project, and the Service Oriented HLA RTI
(SOHR) framework.
With a comprehensive summary of past advances, this text is a
window into the future of this nascent technology, forging a path
for the next generation of cyberinfrastructure developers.
