1.Introduction
In the 70s, the transition from batch systems to interactive computing has been the
enabling tool for the widespread diffusion of advances in IC technology. Grids are
facing the same challenge. The exponential coefficients in network performance
enable the virtualization and pooling of processors and storage; large-
scale user involvement might require seamless...

Computing grids are quite attractive for large scale financial applications: this
is especially evident in the segment of dynamic financial services, where
applications must complete complex tasks within strict deadlines. The traditional
response has been to over-provision for making sure there is plenty of ’headroom’
in resource availability, thereby maintaining large computational...

1 GRIDCC Applications and Requirements
The GRIDCC project [1], sponsored by the European Union under contract number
511381, and launched in September 2004, endeavors to integrate scientific and
general-purpose instruments within the Grid. The motivation is to exploit the Grid
opportunities for secure, collaborative work of distributed teams and to utilize
the Grid’s massive...

The major GRID infastructures are designed mainly for batch-oriented
computing with coarse-grained jobs and relatively high job turnaround
time. However many practical applications in natural and physical
sciences may be easily parallelized and run as a set of smaller tasks
which require little or no synchronization and which may be scheduled in
a more efficient way. The Distributed...

With the fast growth of the video games and entertainment industry - thanks to the
appearance of new games, new technologies and innovative hardware devices - the
capacity to react becomes critical for competing in the market of services and
entertainment. Therefore it is necessary to be able to count on advanced middleware
solutions and technological platforms that allow a fast unfolding...

The Relational Grid Monitoring Architecture (R-GMA) provides a uniform method to
access and publish both information and monitoring data. It has been designed to be
easy for individuals to publish and retrieve data. It provides information about the
grid, mainly for the middleware packages, and information about grid applications for
users. From a user's perspective, an R-GMA...
