        An Introduction to Grid Computing and the EGEE Project 1h

        Grid computing permits "virtual computing" across administrative domains, so that resources can be shared and orchestrated.

        The EGEE project (Enabling Grids for E-sciencE) is establishing a major international infrastructure to support collaborative research, engineering, public service.
