About this product

Product Information

Grid Computing requires the use of software that can divide and farm out pieces of a program to as many as several thousand computers. 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. Specific topics covered include: An overview of structural and behavioural properties of Computer Grid applications Discussion of alternative programming techniques Case studies displaying the potential of Computer Grids in solving real problems This 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. Readers will gain an insight on the limitations of existing approaches as well as the standardisation activities currently taking place.

Reviews
No review will do this book justice. Being in the field of Grid Computing, I know how hard it is to find a text that covers the Software Engineering aspects of Grid without the heavy math presentation and chapters of theory upon theory. There is nothing wrong with theory of Grid Computing, but after reading the basics you need to actually architect and build your applications for Grid. This is the first book that covers Grid Computing from the architects' perspective - and does so in a practical matter. This book aims at demonstrating and teaching the difficult task of Software Engineering aspects of Grid Computing. Grid-enabling an application is not like any other methodologies that we have heard before as it requires intimate knowledge of the underlying infrastructure (network, operating system, memory, etc) along with an in-depth knowledge of the application which one is Grid-enabling. The book targets developers of Grid applications primarily, with a focus on what the authors call "deployment specialists". It focuses on this very aspect of Software Engineering and explores the how-to in order to ensure common understanding of the Grid across the organization. It is a practical approach to Grid computing and Software Engineering aspect of Grid. The authors take the readers thru a journey of what it means to build a Grid from ground-up: software architecture, infrastructure, development, deployment, monitoring, upgrade, etc... I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in the field of Grid Computing or Software development for Grid environment. "Art Sedighi", No review will do this book justice.
