Grid Computing: Making The Global Infrastructure a Reality

A few years ago ‘The Grid’ emerged as one of the most important new developments in building the infrastructure for computational science in the 21st century. The tremendous enthusiasm for grid computing has led to an extremely rapid growth of our knowledge about how to make grids a reality. This is a timely book with contributions by the world’s leading experts on building grids – it synthesizes all the exciting developments of the recent years. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a comprehensive and up to date treatment of one of the most important topics in computing.
