Qualities of Grid Computing that can last for Ages
Grid computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing based on its abilities on large-scale resource sharing and services. And it will even become more popular because of the benefits it can offer over the traditional supercomputers, and other forms of distributed computing. This paper examines these benefits and also discusses why grid computing will continue toenjoy greater popularity and patronage in many years to come. Finally, we discussed about virtual organization (VO) as one of the key characteristics of Grid computing

Four Decades of Computing in Subnuclear Physics - from Bubble Chamber to LHC
This manuscript addresses selected aspects of computing for the
reconstruction and simulation of particle interactions in subnuclear physics.
Based on personal experience with experiments at DESY and at CERN, I cover the
evolution of computing hardware and software from the era of track chambers
where interactions were recorded on photographic film up to the LHC experiments
with their multi-million electronic channels
Cloud Computing: Fundamentals
Abstract
Deepening the concept of Cloud Computing, describing
and analyzing the underlying technologies in this concept’s
technological implementation. The relationship of distributed
computing and virtualization with Cloud Computing. The need
for automation in Cloud Computing
Risks in enterprise cloud computing: the perspective of IT experts
Cloud computing has become an increasingly prevalent topic in recent years. However, migrating hitherto internal IT data and applications to the cloud is associated with a wide range of risks and challenges. The study reported in this paper aims to explore potential risks that organisations may encounter during cloud computing adoption, as well as to assess and prioritise these risks, from the perspective of IT practitioners and consultants. A questionnaire was designed and distributed to a group of 295 highly experienced IT professionals involved in developing and implementing cloud based solutions, of which 39 (13.2%) responses were collected and analysed. The findings identified a set of 39 cloud computing risks, which concentrated around diverse operational, organisational, technical, and legal areas. The most critical top 10 risks perceived by IT experts were found to be caused by current legal and technical complexity and deficiencies associated with cloud computing, as well as by a lack of preparation and planning of user companies
Virtual Environments for multiphysics code validation on Computing Grids
We advocate in this paper the use of grid-based infrastructures that are
designed for seamless approaches to the numerical expert users, i.e., the
multiphysics applications designers. It relies on sophisticated computing
environments based on computing grids, connecting heterogeneous computing
resources: mainframes, PC-clusters and workstations running multiphysics codes
and utility software, e.g., visualization tools. The approach is based on
concepts defined by the HEAVEN* consortium. HEAVEN is a European scientific
consortium including industrial partners from the aerospace, telecommunication
and software industries, as well as academic research institutes. Currently,
the HEAVEN consortium works on a project that aims to create advanced services
platforms. It is intended to enable "virtual private grids" supporting various
environments for users manipulating a suitable high-level interface. This will
become the basis for future generalized services allowing the integration of
various services without the need to deploy specific grid infrastructures
