Grid computing is an emerging technology that enables large-scale resource sharing and coordinated problem solving within distributed| often loosely coordinated groups-what are sometimes termed "virtual organizations. By providing scalable| secure| high-performance mechanisms for discovering and negotiating access to remote resources| Grid technologies promise to make it possible for scientific collaborations to share resources on an unprecedented scale| and for geographically distributed groups to work together in ways that were previously impossible. Similar technologies are being adopted within industry| where they serve as important building blocks for emerging service provider infrastructures. Even though the advantages of this technology for classes of applications have been acknowledged| research in a variety of disciplines| including not only multiple domains of computer science (networking| middleware| programming| algorithms) but also application disciplines themselves| as well as such areas as sociology and economics| is needed to broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge.
