Since the 1990s Grid Computing has emerged as a paradigm for
accessing and managing distributed, heterogeneous and
geographically spread resources, promising that we will be able to
access computer power as easily as we can access the electric power
grid. Later on, Cloud Computing brought the promise of providing
easy and inexpensive access to remote hardware and storage
resources. Exploiting pay-per-use models and virtualization for
resource provisioning, cloud computing has been rapidly accepted
and used by researchers, scientists and industries. In this volume,
contributions from internationally recognized experts describe the
latest findings on challenging topics related to grid and cloud
database management. By exploring current and future developments,
they provide a thorough understanding of the principles and
techniques involved in these fields. The presented topics are well
balanced and complementary, and they range from well-known research
projects and real case studies to standards and specifications, and
non-functional aspects such as security, performance and
scalability. Following an initial introduction by the editors, the
contributions are organized into four sections: Open Standards and
Specifications, Research Efforts in Grid Database Management, Cloud
Data Management, and Scientific Case Studies. With this
presentation, the book serves mostly researchers and graduate
students, both as an introduction to and as a technical reference
for grid and cloud database management. The detailed descriptions
of research prototypes dealing with spatiotemporal or genomic data
will also be useful for application engineers in these fields.
