Product Description
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. These are the issues addressed in this book, in addition to elucidating the overlap with related areas including discussions of work with peer-to-peer computing, economic approaches, and operations research. Grid Resource Management: State of the Art and Future Trends is an invaluable resource for today's user, application developer, or resource owners when working with Grid resource management systems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Cool Book, April 22, 2004
By Ali Afzal (London, UK) - See all my reviews
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
