This book explores processes and techniques needed to create a successful Grid infrastructure. Leading researchers in Europe and the US look at the development of specialist tools and environments which will encourage the convergence of the parallel programming, distributed computing and data management communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecific topics covered include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn overview of structural and behavioural properties of Computer Grid applications \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion of alternative programming techniques \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies displaying the potential of Computer Grids in solving real problems \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is unique in its outline of the needs of Computational Grids both in integration of high-end resources using OGSA\/Globus, and the loose integration of Peer-2-Peer\/Entropia\/United Devices.
