Grid computing overview
1.8 Concluding remarks
In this chapter, the concept of grid is first introduced. With about a decade of development, lots of grid infrastructures and utilities have emerged and the manner and domain of a grid is now employed have varied vastly, spanning from high-throughput computing to on-demand computing, from scientific research to e-business. The grid evolves continuously and the third generation of grid, the service oriented computing, has emerged. The technologies of semantic web and workflow have been used in the grid and the integration and convergence of technologies make the grid to provide more flexible, automatic and complex grid services to fulfill industrial and commercial needs.
