3. ACAT, Moscow – 26 June 2002 - n° 3 The Grid vision  Flexible, secure, coordinated resource sharing among dynamic collections of individuals, institutions, and resource  From “The Anatomy of the Grid: Enabling Scalable Virtual Organizations”  Enable communities (“virtual organizations”) to share geographically distributed resources as they pursue common goals -- assuming the absence of…  central location,  central control,  omniscience,  existing trust relationships.

4. ACAT, Moscow – 26 June 2002 - n° 4 Grids: Elements of the Problem  Resource sharing  Computers, storage, sensors, networks, …  Sharing always conditional: issues of trust, policy, negotiation, payment, …  Coordinated problem solving  Beyond client-server: distributed data analysis, computation, collaboration, …  Dynamic, multi-institutional virtual orgs  Community overlays on classic org structures  Large or small, static or dynamic
