The Grid 2, Second Edition: Blueprint for a New Computing Infrastructure (The Elsevier Series in Grid Computing)
by Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman
Description: The Grid is an emerging infrastructure that will fundamentally change the way we think about-and use-computing. The word Grid is used by analogy with the electric power grid, which provides pervasive access to electricity and has had a dramatic impact on human capabilities and society. Many believe that by allowing all components of our information technology infrastructure-computa...

From the Web to the Grid and Beyond: Computing Paradigms Driven by High-Energy Physics (The Frontiers Collection)
by René Brun, Federico Carminati, Giuliana Galli Carminati
Description:  Born after World War II, large-scale experimental high-energy physics (HEP) has found itself limited ever since by available accelerator, detector and computing technologies. Accordingly, HEP has made significant contributions to the development of these fields, more often than not driving their innovations. The invention of the World Wide Web at CERN is merely the best-known exam...

Grid Computing: The Savvy Manager's Guide (The Savvy Manager's Guides)
by Pawel Plaszczak, Richard Wellner Jr. Jr.
Description: A decade ago, the corporate world viewed grid computing as a curiosity. Today, it views it as an opportunity--a chance to reduce costs, improve performance, fund new projects, and take advantage of under-utilized capacity. The engineering behind this transformation has been amply documented. Until now, however, little has been written to prepare managers, executives, and other deci...

Lessons in Grid Computing: The System Is a Mirror
by Stuart Robbins
Description: "You should not overlook the potential genius in this concept." --Geoffrey Moore, consultant and author, Dealing with Darwin "Since he first identified 'information systems as mirrors of the people who build them' for me, I have seen it operate in many ways. It is a fascinating idea, and a completely new way of thinking about technology." --Sean Moriarty, Chief Operating Officer, ...
