Grid Computing: Practical Guide To Technology & Applications
Category General
Product Description
Grid computing takes collective advantage of the vast improvements in micro-processor speeds, optical communications, raw storage capacity, the World Wide Web, and the Internet that have occurred over the last five years. A set of standards and protocols are being developed that completely dis-aggregate current computer platforms and distribute them across a network as resources that can be called into action by any eligible user (person or machine) at any time. Grid computing is revolutionizing the way companies utilize information technology in business. This book provides IT professionals with a clear, readable, and pragmatic overview to all aspects of grid computing technology, with hands-on guide… More >>

Semantic Grid: Model, Methodology, and Applications
Category General
Product Description
Semantic Grid: Model, Methodology, and Applications introduces to the science, core technologies, and killer applications. First, scientific issues of semantic grid systems are covered, followed by two basic technical issues, data-level semantic mapping, and service-level semantic interoperating. Two killer applications are then introduced to show how to build a semantic grid for specific application domains. Although this book is organized in a step by step manner, each chapter is independent. Detailed application scenarios are also presented. In 1990, Prof. Wu invented the first KB-system tool, ZIPE, based on C on a SUN platform. He proposed the first coupling knowledge representing model, Couplingua, which e… More >>
