Summary:

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.

Divided into three sections and utilizing a reader-friendly bottom-up approach, this volume:

Reflects the recent advances of grid computing since 2003

Highlights several national and international grid systems, including CROWN, EGEE, ChinaGrid, and several ongoing cyberinfrastructure efforts in New York State

Provides technical details to demonstrate how grid computing works in the real world

Explores recent grid service advances

Analyzes innovative grid applications, including Wisdom, LHC, and the SOHR framework

Contains a large number of references and technical reports

With contributions from the world's leading experts, this volume provides a comprehensive summary of past advances and offers a window into the future of this nascent technology, forging a path for the next generation of cyberinfrastructure developers.
