Today, many institutions and corporations are involved in various grid researches that involve improvement in concepts, protocols, applications, methods, and tools. To help capture the rapid growth in grid concepts and applications and chart the future direction in this field, a resource compiling current advances in grid computing is essential. The Handbook of Research on Grid Technologies and Utility Computing: Concepts for Managing Large-Scale Applications provides a compendium of terms, definitions, and explanations of concepts, issues, processes, and trends in grid technology. As the first book collection of its kind, this reference features current articles presenting comprehensive coverage of grid technologies valuable to any researcher, practitioner, or academician in grid computing.
The Nigerian social economic-cum-political landscape has been plagued by monumental setbacks, which have left many wondering what went wrong. This question has defied all logic as we have refused to diagnose the root cause of our problem but have rather chosen to live in self-illusion, believing that we would wake up someday and discover that all our worries are gone. This book seeks to x-ray this cankerworm called the Nigerian factor vis-a-vis the danger it poses to our survival as a nation-state. This might be the last attempt to put us back on track before Armageddon takes place.
Applications and Developments in Grid, Cloud, and High Performance Computing provides insight into the current trends and emerging issues by investigating grid and cloud evolution, workflow management, and the impact new computing systems have on the education fields as well as the industries. This book is practical for both researchers and IT professionals.
Grid and cloud computing both facilitate an increase in computing resources by the development of new connections to existing systems. Evolving Developments in Grid and Cloud Computing: Advancing Research contains investigations of grid and cloud evolution, workflow management, and the impact new computing systems have on education and industry. Targeted at both researchers and IT professionals, this book provides current trends and emerging issues in cloud and grid architectures, standards and performance analysis.
Continuing to stretch the boundaries of computing and the types of problems computers can solve, high performance, cloud, grid computing have emerged to address increasingly advanced issues by combining resources. Cloud, Grid and High Performance Computing: Emerging Applications offers new and established perspectives on architectures, services and the resulting impact of emerging computing technologies. Intended for professionals and researchers, this publication furthers investigation of practical and theoretical issues in the related fields of grid, cloud, and high performance computing.

Advances in grid technology in the past two decades have enabled some organizations to harness enormous computational power on demand. However, the prediction of widespread adoption of the grid technology has not materialized, while increasingly the cloud technology is becoming popular. In this book, the technology acceptance models were successfully tested and used to understand the factors that affect the acceptance or rejection of innovative grids and clouds. Using the online survey engine - Survey Monkey, data were collected from individuals (242 respondents) in schools, businesses and government in USA. The multiple regression technique was used to determine the relationship between the intent to adopt grids and these behavioral factors: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude (competition from cloud computing technology) and trust (security). The research established a valuable model to predict acceptance or rejection of grids and clouds. The work sheds some light on the influential technology acceptance factors affecting grid and cloud technology, and should be especially useful to professionals in business, information technology and computer science.
