Grid Computing is based on the concept of coordinated shared use of computers, software, data, and other resources in the process of problem solving by dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organizations. Collaboration, data sharing, and other new models of interaction are becoming increasingly important as decentralization and distribution of hardware, software, and people continues. As an example, consider product design. A new product, e.g., a car, is designed in multiple organizations. Each manufacturer designs his component in his proprietary environment (CAD, simulation, etc.). Validating the virtual prototype of the car as a whole requires interaction of developers and their software tools. Another example of a virtual organization are research groups in high energy physics. Generally speaking, virtual organizations consist of a set of institutions or people. They are defined by the rules for shared access to, and use of, resources. The lecture provides an overview of the emerging field of Grid Computing. From the perspective of different types of applications, we motivate the need for grid technologies and the services that are required to effectively manage resource sharing in virtual organizations. For each type of service, we review the state of the art and provide an overview of current research projects.
