Summary

Summary

Distinguished from conventional parallel and distributed computing, the innovative field of grid computing focuses on resources shared among geographically distributed sites, providing high qualitative services for users and applications.Quantitative Quality of Service for Grid Computing: Applications for Heterogeneity, Large-Scale Distribution, and Dynamic Environments defines and characterizes the latest research achievements in grid computing. This book provides an important reference for academicians, practitioners, and researchers in fields such as parallel and distributed computing, high performance computing, and grid computing.
