Grid and Services Evolution

by Norbert Meyer (Editor), Domenico Talia (Editor), Ramin Yahyapour (Editor)

Overview

Grids are a crucial enabling technology for scientific and industrial development. Grid and Services Evolution, the 11^th edited volume of the CoreGRID series, was based on The CoreGRID Middleware Workshop, held in Barcelona, Spain, June 5-6, 2008.

Grid and Services Evolution provides a bridge between the application community and the developers of middleware services, especially in terms of parallel computing. This edited volume brings together a critical mass of well-established researchers worldwide, from forty-two institutions active in the fields of distributed systems and middleware, programming models, algorithms, tools and environments.

Grid and Services Evolution is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners within the Grid community industry. This volume is also suitable for advanced-level students in computer science.
