Summary
The research of Grid computing has made rapid progress in the last few years, developing and evolving in almost all key areas. A comprehensive discussion of recent advances in Grid computing, this book summarizes the concepts, methods, technologies, and applications. Unlike other recent books on the subject that deal only with parts of Grid computing, this one covers the entire field. With chapters based on recent research of Grid experts, it covers important topics such as philosophy, middleware, architecture, services, and applications. It also includes technical details to demonstrate how Grid computing works in the real world and a large number of references and technical reports.
