Book Description
The National Computational Science Alliance (Alliance) is a nationwide partnership of more than 50 academic, government [United States] and business organizations working together to prototype an advanced computational infrastructure for the new century. This infrastructure, called the Grid, is rapidly developing into a ubiquitous, pervasive, national-scale information infrastructure that links supercomputers, virtual environments, scientific instruments, large databases and research teams. Started in 1997, the Alliance is one of two [United States] national partnerships funded by the National Science Foundation's Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (PACI) program and receives cost-sharing at partner institutions. The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign leads the Alliance under the direction of NCSA and Alliance Director Dan Reed.

Book Description
Grid research, rooted in distributed and high performance computing, started in mid-to-late 1990s. Soon afterwards, national and international research and development authorities realized the importance of the Grid and gave it a primary position on their research and development agenda. The Grid evolved from tackling data and compute-intensive problems, to addressing global-scale scientific projects, connecting businesses across the supply chain, and becoming a World Wide Grid integrated in our daily routine activities. This book tells the story of great potential, continued strength, and widespread international penetration of Grid computing. It overviews latest advances in the field and traces the evolution of selected Grid applications. The book highlights the international widespread coverage and unveils the future potential of the Grid.
