The European Community (EU) is sponsoring a project for a grid for high-energy physics, earth observation, and biology applications. In the United States, the National Technology Grid is prototyping a computational grid for infrastructure and an access grid for people. Sun Microsystems offers Grid Engine software. Described as a distributed resource management tool, Grid Engine allows engineers at companies like Sony and Synopsys to pool the computer cycles on up to 80 workstations at a time.\u003cbr\u003e * \"the Grid\" is a very hot topic generating broad interest from research and industry (e.g. IBM, Platform, Avaki, Entropia, Sun, HP)\u003cbr\u003e * Grid architecture enables very popular e-Science projects like the Genome project which demand global interaction and networking\u003cbr\u003e * In recent surveys over 50% of Chief Information Officers are expected to use Grid technology this year\u003cbr\u003e Grid Computing:\u003cbr\u003e * Features contributions from the major players in the field\u003cbr\u003e * Covers all aspects of grid technology from motivation to applications\u003cbr\u003e * Provides an extensive state-of-the-art guide in grid computing\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This is essential reading for researchers in Computing and Engineering, physicists, statisticians, engineers and mathematicians and IT policy makers.Unter \"Grid Computing\" versteht man die gleichzeitige Nutzung vieler Computer in einem Netzwerk für die Lösung eines einzelnen Problems.
