Exploring the data and execution management aspects of grid computing, this book chronicles the current trend of grid developments toward a more service-oriented approach that exposes grid protocols using web services standards. It introduces a new virtual file system for the grid environment and offers a novel framework for deploying scientific applications into a grid environment. The book also covers P2P systems, service-oriented architecture, scheduling algorithms, and semantic technologies. It highlights several grid applications, such as air quality forecasting and P2P media streaming systems, and examines Java WS Core programming and GT4 security.
