Description
Globus software was devleoped to enable previously disconnected communities to securely share
computational resources and data that span organizational boundaries. As a community driven project,
the Globus commiunity is continually creating and enhancing Grid technology to make it easier to
administer Grids as well as lowering the barriers to entry for both Grid users and Grid developers.
In this presentation we will give a brief snapshot of Globus technology today and provide a look into the
future of Globus development and how communities are contributing toward an even brighter future
tomorrow.
