Grid Computing

This monograph addresses four critical software development aspects for the engineering and execution of applications on parallel and Grid architectures.

A new directive-based language called ZEN is proposed for compact specification of wide value ranges of interest for arbitrary application parameters. The monograph contributes to various research areas related to integrated tool development for efficient engineering and high performance execution of scientific applications in Grid environments.

From the reviews:

"Grid computing is a type of parallel computing. ... The book includes numerous current references, and also includes a helpful index. ... The book includes many tables and figures, some of which are in color. The monograph is a useful contribution to those research areas that are related to integrated tool development for effective engineering, and high-performance execution of scientific applications in grid environments. I recommend this work for theorists and practitioners in grid computing." (S. V. Nagaraj, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (8), August, 2008)
