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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTopics and features: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresents contributions from an international selection of experts in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides summarizing abstracts and conclusions for each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExamines a remote instrumentation infrastructure, and a methodology to support e-science applications on e-infrastructures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescribes the GEMS storage system, and pipeline workflows for optimizing end-to-end performance in wide-area networks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInvestigates semantic grid system architecture, social grid agents, and monitoring platforms designed for large-scale distributed systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExplores job control using service-level agreements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces the Composable Services Architecture for dynamic service provisioning, and the semantically driven communication middleware platform, Phoenix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the PhyloGrid application, and a numerical simulation performed using grid computing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe deep insights that can be gleaned from the text make it a highly useful tool for researchers and professionals alike.
