Abstract

The rapid development in computing resources has enhanced the performance of computers and reduced their costs. This availability of low cost powerful computers coupled with the popularity of the Internet and high-speed networks has led the computing environment to be mapped from distributed to Grid environments. Grid is a type of distributed system that supports the sharing and coordinated use of geographically distributed and multi- owner resources independently from their physical type and location in dynamic virtual organizations that share the same goal of solving large-scale applications. A computational grid is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides dependable, consistent, pervasive, and inexpensive access to high-end computational capabilities. Grid computing is concerned with “Coordinated resource sharing and problem solving in dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations”. The key concept is the ability to negotiate resource-sharing arrangements among a set of participating parties (providers and consumers) and then to use the resulting resource pool for some purpose.

The sharing concern is not primarily file exchange, but rather direct access to computers, software, data, and other resources, as is required by a range of collaborative problem solving and resource-brokering strategies emerging in industry, science, and engineering. This sharing is, necessarily, highly controlled, with resource providers and consumers defining clearly and carefully just what is shared, who is allowed to share, and the conditions under which sharing occurs. A set of individuals and/or institutions defined by such sharing rules form what we call a virtual organization.
