Grid Computing: Techniques and Applications

Designed for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students, this classroom-tested book shows professors how to teach this subject in a practical way. It encompasses the varied and interconnected aspects of Grid computing, including how to design a system infrastructure and Grid portal. The text covers job submission and scheduling, Grid security, Grid computing services and software tools, graphical user interfaces, workflow editors, and Grid-enabling applications. It also contains programming assignments and multiple-choice questions and answers. The authors Web site offers various instructional resources, including slides and links to software for the programming assignments.
