Abstract:Grid computing refers to mechanisms that permit collaboration via shared computers, storage, sensors, networks, and instruments, allowing distributed data analysis, computation, and teamwork. This introduction to grid computing will review projects and software applications and middleware used for today's most demanding scientific experimentation and analysis. We will review the Grids Center Software Suite distributed via the NSF-Middleware Initiative and discuss real-world deployment and campus infrastructure integration and coordination issues.
