The Adaptive Grid

Providing working examples to balance the theoretical with the practical, The Adaptive Grid explains how grid computing is the convergence of on-demand computing, autonomic systems, intelligent infrastructure, and collaborating systems through Web services and SOAP. This book examines open services, service-oriented, and adaptive application architectures to enable grid-based applications. It demonstrates how these approaches to application architecture drive change in development practices while enabling integration and leveraging of infrastructure capabilities. It supplies valuable information for software developers and architects as well as system and network administrators. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
