Overview of The Grid: Core Technologies Book

This book gives readers a complete, clear, systematic, and practical understanding of the technologies that enable Grid computing. Over the last 3 years, Grid computing has been receiving much attention & funding around the world. In the UK, for example, one national e-Science Grid center and eight regional Grid centers have been established to "make the Grid infrastructure a reality" in the near future. There is a need for a book that clearly describes and explains the underlying technologies (such as Globus 2 or 3) for newcomers to the field and Grid technology coordinators. Special Features ? Provides a solid introduction to the technologies that underpin the Grid for newcomers to the field with sufficient detail for the academic market. ? Systematically explains OGSA (Open Grid Service Architecture), Web Service technologies (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI), GMA (Grid Monitoring Architecture), Grid Portals, Grid Workflow, etc. ? Compares available technologies and puts them into context. ? Introduces Globus 3 the latest release of the most widely used toolkit in building Grid systems and compares it to Globus 2. ? Covers Grid portal tools such as Java CoG, GridPort, Ninf-G and Portlets. ? Tackles hot topics such as Grid security (GSI -- Grid Security Infrastructure), resource management, the development of Grid portals and workflow management. Table of Content About the Authors.
