        An Introduction to Grid Computing and the EGEE Project

        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.
