Grid Computing: New Book on the Web


Bob Marcus sent out a New Year's message on his new:

GREAT GLOBAL GRID BOOK

Happy New Year! This message is being sent out to a mailing list on Emerging Internet Technology (EMIT). The list was inactive in 2002 while I took a sabbatical to write a book on enterprise applications of the next generation Internet. The book is entitled "Great Global Grid: Emerging Technology Strategies". A draft version, contents, references and description are available at http://www.great-global-grid.com . The book is an outgrowth of the 2001 Software Services Grid Workshop whose proceedings are available at http://swradio.omg.org/workshop/

The technologies covered in the book include portals, EAI and B2B messaging, Web Services, peer-to-peer, wireless, virtual clusters and Grid middleware. These technologies are analyzed from a pragmatic enterprise viewpoint including their future impact.

The next step for the Great Global Grid will be beyond the enterprise. My current work as a senior research engineer at SRI (http://www.sri.com) is creating a middleware architecture for mobile ad hoc networks. This infrastructure includes agent-mediated peer-to-peer communication with links to multiple resource-sharing grids.

I plan to send out periodic mailings on technical issues and events involving all aspects of the Great Global Grid during 2003. Anyone who is interested in subscribing can send me a message with subject "Subscribe GGG" at bobmarcus1@attbi.com
