Description
The book deals with the most recent technology of distributed computing.
As Internet continues to grow and provide practical connectivity
between users of computers it has become possible to consider use of computing resources which are far apart and connected by Wide Area
Networks.
Instead of using only local computing power it has become practical to access computing resources widely distributed. In some
cases between different countries in other cases between different continents.
This idea of using computer power is similar to the well
known electric power utility technology. Hence the name of this distributed computing technology is the Grid Computing.
Initially grid
computing was used by technologically advanced scientific users.
They used grid computing to experiment with large scale problems which
required high performance computing facilities and collaborative work.
In the next stage of development the grid computing technology
has become effective and economically attractive for large and medium size commercial companies.
It is expected that eventually the grid
computing style of providing computing power will become universal reaching every user in industry and business.
Audience
Researchers, (post-) graduate students and professionals in Computer Science and Grid Computing.
