Inhaltsangabe:

Focusing on the practical advantages and applications of grid computing, this book examines grid technology across a wide span of situations. The coverage includes real-world case studies from many major projects in the emerging global grid infrastructure.

Von der hinteren Coverseite:

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 agents, and monitoring platforms designed for large-scale distributed systems
• Explores job control using service-level agreements
• Introduces the Composable Services Architecture for dynamic service provisioning, and the semantically driven communication middleware platform, Phoenix
• Discusses the PhyloGrid application, and a numerical simulation performed using grid computing

The deep insights that can be gleaned from the text make it a highly useful tool for researchers and professionals alike. Graduate students will also benefit from the extensive analysis on currently available grid systems.
