    Digital Libraries constitute a relatively young scientific field, whose life spans roughly the last ten years. Despite its young age, the field has made a long journey from its initial conception to the present state of the art and has reached a level of maturity that warrants taking stock of its course so far and paving a path for the immediate and long-term future. This talk analyzes the...

    Second generation DLs have new requirements. Firstly, these requirements include the way to make data and specialized DL applications available to a large set of users by means of well-defined services. Secondly, the interaction between independent data/service providers (peers) within a network needs to be addressed. Finally, the computing and storage resources that are available in large...

    A Grid is “an infrastructure that enables flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions and resources” (Ian Foster and Carl Kesselman). This talk explains what this means. It explains how by a single log-on, users are authenticated and authorised to use computers in other organisations for computation or data access. The roles of...

    The many concurrent developments of grid middleware have created what is sometimes termed a middleware "ecosystem" - some developments are cooperative, and others are alternative solutions to the same problems. The talk describes the most commonly used middleware packages: Globus, Condor, VDT. It describes how the current LCG-2 / EGEE-0 production service builds upon these. Focus then...
