Abstract
In the last decades, the Internet and the World Wide Web have evolved into a new infrastructure for science, business, and the public. Driven by the need to better cope with recent trends and developments caused by globalization, complexity, and the grand challenges, we are refining and enhancing this infrastructure with powerful new tools for communication, collaboration, computation and the huge amounts of resulting data and knowledge. Researchers and business people alike are more and more able to easily access the tools, the data and the IT resources they need to solve their applications and to increase knowledge, via Grid and Service Oriented Architectures, and the technologies and tools to build them. This presentation will highlight Grids, SOA, and Web 2.0 and how they relate and complement, and the benefits they bring to scientists, businesses, and our whole society, supported by a number of use cases from research, industry, and public community.
