A book that bridges the gap between the communities of network
and Grid experts.
Grid Networks describes the convergence of advanced
networking technologies and Grid technologies, with special focus
on their symbiotic relationship and the resulting new
opportunities. Grid technology is applicable to many
implementations, Computational Grids, Data Grids, Service Grids,
and Instrumentation Grids.
The authors cover a breadth of topics including recent research,
featuring both theoretical concepts and empirical results.
Beginning with an overview of Grid technologies, an analysis of
distinguishing use cases and architectural attributes, and emerging
standards. Travostino et al. discuss new directions in
multiple networking technologies that are enabling enhanced
capabilities for Grids. An appendix also provides an overview of
experimental research test-beds and prototype implementations.
These topics will enable network experts to design networks to
best match Grid requirements, while Grid experts will learn how to
effectively utilize network resources.
Grid Networks: Enabling Grids with Advanced Communication
Technology:
* Bridges the gap between the communities of network and Grid
experts.
* Covers new network requirements posed by the Grid, and the
paradigm shifts prompted by Grid applications.
* Discusses basic architectural concepts and directions related
to the integration of Grid and networking technologies, especially
those that elevate network resources to first class entities within
Grid environments.
* Details new directions in networking technologies for the Grid,
including Network Infrastructure & Management, Service
Provisioning, High Performance Data Transport, Performance
Monitoring, Reliability, and Network-Assisted Service
Frameworks.
* Provides an overview of advanced research testbeds and
innovative early implementations of emerging architecture and
technology.
Many communities will find this book an invaluable resource,
including engineers and product managers, research scientists
within academia, industry, and government agencies, advanced
students and faculty in distributed systems courses, network and
systems architects, CIOs, administrators of advanced networks,
application developers, and providers of next generation
distributed services.
