Grid Computing: International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC) 2007 is one of the most important annual events in Asia that brings together scientific contributions by world class researchers and scientists working in the Grid Computing field to exchange ideas, to present challenges, solutions and future development. The objective of this Symposium is to facilitate the information exchange as well as to explore the global collaboration and interoperation among various Grid projects. Based on the ISGC 2007, held in Taipei, Taiwan in March of 2007, this edited volume presents the latest grid solutions and research results in grid operations, grid middleware, biomedical operations, e-science applications and more. Grid Computing: International Symposium on Grid Computing (ISGC) 2007 is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in academia and industry. This book is also suitable for graduate-level students in computer science. It is also one of the most important sources of Grid Computing and e-Science development in the Asia Pacific region.

MGC middleware for grid computing: the Globus Toolkit
ACAI '11: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advances in Computing and Artificial IntelligenceGrid computing has made substantial advances during the last decade. A major concern in Grid environments is dealing with the high degree of heterogeneity of resources that can range from laptops and PCs to supercomputers. The unified virtual view of ...

This edited volume primarily contains project reports about computational grid activities, dominantly from Asia. The papers are short, with an average of 12 single-column pages. There are four thematic parts that focus on grid project activities in the Asia-Pacific region; selected application area efforts-high-energy physics, biomedicine, life sciences, and computational finance; middleware and interoperability; and operations and management. The collective set of project reports-more than 50 projects that span more than 15 countries are mentioned-gives an overview of the grid infrastructure available, in general, in Asia; of issues involved in collaborative research; and of progress in the application areas mentioned. Part 3, on middleware and interoperability, contains most of the technical contributions in this volume, addressing resource selection or management (including storage); fault tolerance and recovery algorithms; interfaces to grid resources; and scheduling. This volume is a byproduct of the ISGC 2007 International Symposium on Grid Computing, held in Taipei, Taiwan, and serves mostly as a record of that event. It may be of interest to analysts and students who are dealing with the Asian science infrastructure. The volume includes a list of contributors (albeit incomplete) and the program committee, and a short index. Online Computing Reviews Service
