What is Grid Computing: Towards a Global Interconnected Infrastructure (Computer Communications and Networks) about?

Grid computing provides a mechanism for integrating, coordinating, and sharing heterogeneous computer resources. This continually evolving field now aims to completely disaggregate current computer platforms and distribute them across a network as resources that can be called into action by any eligible user or machine at any time. This accessible and broad-ranging text/reference presents valuable research and results from many of the major projects involved in the emerging global grid infrastructure. With a particular focus on the practical advantages and applications of grid computing – including real case studies – the book provides an in-depth study of grid technology for a wide range of different needs. **Topics and features:** * Presents contributions from an international selection of experts in the field * Provides summarizing abstracts and conclusions for each chapter * Examines a remote instrumentation infrastructure, and a methodology to support e-science applications on e-infrastructures * Describes the GEMS storage system, and pipeline workflows for optimizing end-to-end performance in wide-area networks * Investigates semantic grid system architecture, social grid age
