ShanghaiGrid in action: the first stage projects towards digital city and city grid

The nearest goal of ShanghaiGrid is to going to connect all supercomputers in this metropolis together to form a sharing environment for massive storage and grid computing. The first stage projects of ShanghaiGrid comprise four sub-projects, including 1) research on environment, protocols and standards of information gird infrastructure; 2) development of system software for information grid and establishment of four major grid nodes; 3) development of peer-to-peer based virtual research platform; 4) research on the application of grid based traffic-jam control and guidance. This paper introduces the background of ShanghaiGrid, provides a glimpse at features and challenges of its sub-projects, and summarizes the general goal of them.
