Foil 4 Computational Grid and the Web

From Commodity(Web) Technologies in the service of Computational Grids Argonne Workshop on Computational Grids -- 7-10 Sept 97. by Geoffrey C. Fox


The transportation system was built using lessons from and feed up/down from Sports cars, Cadillacs, Model T's, Ford Escorts etc.
Computational Grid will be shaped by and shape all 5 classes of applications on previous foil
  • Everybody would perhaps agree on general statement but perhaps disagree on importance of it
A highish end computational grid will in some sense (to be disagreed on) be influenced by and influence the "Web" which is here defined as "mass-market"/business IntraNet (low to low) use of Internet/distributed Information Systems
This chapter (section of new architecture chapter) describes some of tactical and strategic (architecture) implications of Web technologies for computational grids
