Abstract

The term “Grid Computing” was introduced at the end of 90s by Foster and Kesselman; it was envisioned as “an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, high-performance orientation” [1].
