Abstract: Advances in science and engineering are driven increasingly by collaborations that focus on sharing data, computing, code, and access to experimental facilities. Network-driven computers, storage, data collections and scientific instruments are now central to the day-to-day practice of many research disciplines.
The GRIDS Center Software Suite includes popular Grid middleware such as the Globus Toolkit (the de facto standard for Grid environments), Condor-G and Network Weather Service, heavily leveraging open protocols based on IETF and W3C standards. |
