InterGrid: Peering Architecture and Policies for Internetworking Disparate Grids

网格计算能够为电子研究应用程序创建网络基础设施。它被认为是未来20年将对科学和社会质量产生重大影响的五大新兴技术之一。包括澳大利亚在内的世界上几个国家都基于虚拟组织的概念开发了自己的国家电网。这些分散的网格计划导致了网格孤岛，而它们之间的对等安排没有任何支持。这一限制将不允许我们实现网格计算范例的全部潜力。这个InterGrid项目旨在通过开发网格对等的新技术来彻底改变网格计算。

Grid computing enables the creation of Cyberinfrastructure for e-Research applications. It is recognised as one of the top five emerging technologies that will have a major impact on the quality of science and society over the next 20 years. Several nations around the world including Australia have developed their own national Grids based on the notion of virtual organisations. These dispersed Grid initiatives have resulted in Grid islands without any support for peering arrangements between them. This limitation will not allow us to realise full potential of the Grid computing paradigm. This InterGrid project aims to revolutionise Grid computing by developing new technologies for peering of Grids.
