Book synopsis

Grid computing enables the sharing of heterogeneous§resources among different administrative domains§promising unlimited computational and storage power§available on demand. However, Grid applications are§often developed in an ad-hoc manner with little or no§transferability across them. Grid applications not§only need to adapt to evolving standards but they§also need to adjust to a dynamic environment in which§resources can be added and removed on demand. This§book presents an approach that simplifies the§development of Grid applications and empowers§end-users to take full advantage of Grid§infrastructure. The approach uses domain specific§modeling, a modern software engineering method for§automating the development of software, to develop a§workflow tool that can be used by end-users to create§complex Grid applications graphically. This book§provides an introduction to Grid computing and§workflow systems as well as a practical exercise in§domain specific modeling. As such, this book should§be of great use for software engineers and anyone§else interested in reaping the benefits of Grid§computing and scientific workflows.
