Summary

Grid and utility computing is recognized as one of the top five emerging technologies that will have a major impact on the quality of science. The first coordinated and integrated single-source reference on market-oriented grid computing, Market-Oriented Grid and Utility Computing covers the shift within the grid community where resources are traded, negotiated, allocated, provisioned, and monitored, based on user quality of service requirements. Researchers and practitioners working within current grid infrastructures and future models, as well as graduate students, will not want to be without this valuable resource.
