Grid Resource Management: State of the Art and Future Trends presents an overview of the state of the field and describes both the real experiences and the current research available today. Grid computing is a rapidly developing and changing field, involving the shared and coordinated use of dynamic, multi-institutional resources. Grid resource management is the process of identifying requirements, matching resources to applications, allocating those resources, and scheduling and monitoring Grid resources over time in order to run Grid applications as efficiently as possible. While Grids have become almost commonplace, the use of good Grid resource management tools is far from ubiquitous because of the many open issues of the field, including the multiple layers of schedulers, the lack of control over resources, the fact that resources are shared, and that users and administrators have conflicting performance goals.

Pretty Cool Book,
By Ali Afzal (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grid Resource Management: State of the Art and Future Trends (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science) (Hardcover)
The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in Grid Resource Management. It does not try to go into detail about every piece of research that has been done in the field so far. Instead, it focuses on some key developments in the field, which provides an excellent platform for the reader to then go off and research a particular topic in depth, without feeling utterly lost about the concepts involved, the objectives of the research etc. Recommended to anyone wishing to dive deep into the heart of the wonderful new technology, that is Grid Computing
