An Overview of the Gridline Project

Grid computing leverages and generalises distributed computing by focusing on large scale resource sharing for high performance and innovative applications. The Gridline project aims to develop a set of advanced optimisation services, based on constraint technology, which add efficiency to this generalised sharing. This position paper details three demonstrators and presents important modelling points.
