Grid computing is a new trend in distributed computing for coordinating large-scale heterogeneous resource sharing and problem solving in multi-institutional virtual organizations. Papers from an August 2008 conference on grid computing are gathered here, shedding light on novel ideas, new research results, work in progress, and current techniques in the field. Material is presented in sections on grid resource management, job scheduling, data grid and network storage, security, applications, semantic grid and semantic web, high performance computing, and peer-to-peer computing and information retrieval. Some specific topics examined include methods and applications for trace analysis in grid systems, a new automated approach for semantic caching on XML queries, and dimension-exchange- based load balancing on crossed cubes. There is no subject index.
