Description
The Grid is an emerging infrastructure that will fundamentally change the way we think about-and use-computing. The word Grid is
used by analogy with the electric power grid, which provides pervasive access to electricity and has had a dramatic impact on human capabilities
and society. Many believe that by allowing all components of our information technology infrastructure-computational capabilities, databases,
sensors, and people-to be shared flexibly as true collaborative tools the Grid will have a similar transforming effect, allowing new
classes of applications to emerge.
-From the Preface
In 1998, Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman introduced a whole
new concept in computing with the first edition of this book. Today there is a broader and deeper understanding of the nature of the
opportunities offered by Grid computing and the technologies needed to realize those opportunities. In Grid 2, the editors reveal the
revolutionary impact of large-scale resource sharing and virtualization within science and industry, the intimate relationships between
organization and resource sharing structures and the new technologies required to enable secure, reliable, and efficient resource sharing
on large scale.
Foster and Kesselman have once again assembled a team of experts to present an up-to-date view of Grids that reports
on real experiences and explains the available technologies and new technologies emerging from labs, companies and standards bodies.
Grid 2, like its predecessor, serves as a manifesto, design blueprint, user guide and research agenda for future Grid systems.
Audience
computing executives and strategists, system designers, technical professionals, academics, graduate students in distributed parallel computing and grid computing
