Here’s an all-new presentation of the most powerful, thoroughly tested, and widely used tool ever designed for improving human effectiveness and developing sound leadership.
For more than 25 years millions of people have been using the Grid framework to achieve optimum organizational and personal productivity. Built on the foundations of Blake and Mouton’s best-selling management classic ‘The Managerial Grid’ (more than 2 million copies in print!) this new book employs dynamic literary action – characters, dialogue, storyline – to fuse Grid theory with workplace reality. It gives you a front row seat to observe, react to, and, therefore more clearly comprehend and successfully apply proven Grid solutio… More >>

Product Description
Data and knowledge play a key role in both current and future GRIDs. The issues concerning representation, discovery, and integration of data and knowledge in dynamic distributed environments can be addressed by exploiting features offered by GRID Technologies. Current research activities are leveraging the GRID for the provision of generic- and domain-specific solutions and services for data management and knowledge discovery. Knowledge and Data Management in GRIDs is the third volume of the CoreGRID series and brings together scientific contributions by researchers and scientists working on storage, data, and knowledge management in GRID and Peer-to-Peer systems. This volume presents the latest GRID solution… More >>

Product Description
Electricity systems worldwide are currently in a phase of change. The traditional centralized supply systems with a low number of large generators feeding millions of loads are more and more supplemented with distributed energy resources. These can be small generators, but also energy storages and especially active consumers. The future smart grid will much more rely on information and communication technology than today. The idea of demand side management, i.e. remote management of electrical loads in power grids is not new, but it was never of such importance as today that consumers actively contribute to grid operation. This work, targeting engineers and scientists in this area, proposes a concr… More >>

Product Description
In a dynamic computing environment, such as the Grid, resource management plays a crucial role for making distributed resources available on-demand to anyone from anywhere at any time without undermining the resource autonomy; this becomes an art when dealing with heterogeneous resources distributed under multiple trust domains spanning across the Internet. Today Grid execution environments provide abstract workflow descriptions that need a dynamic mapping to actual deployments; this further accentuates the importance of resource management in the Grid. This monograph renders boundaries of the Grid resource management, identifies research challenges and proposes new solutions with innovative techniques for on-… More >>

Product Description
Grid computing has become a topic of significant interest in the scientific community as a means of enabling application developers to aggregate resources scattered around the globe for solving large-scale scientific problems. 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, including problem or machine sizes, array or loop distributions, software libraries, interconnection networks, or target execution machines. Based on the ZEN language, a novel experimen… More >>

Product Description
In this new look at energy business operations, an expert team of scientists and engineers provide a road map for transforming energy business capabilities to meet growth imperatives in an increasingly competitive global economy. Extended to the energy industry are the best practices in computational sciences and the lean management principles currently used in other leading manufacturing industries. Computer-aided lean management (CALM) methodology uses the common-sense approach of measuring the results of actions taken and using those measurements to drive greater efficiency.
In their new book, the authors examine how CALM methodology will enable future electric power smart grids with the effi… More >>
