"Grid Resource Management: State of the Art and Future Trends" presents an overview of the state of the field and describes both the real experiences and the current research available in 2003. Grid computing is a rapidly developing and changing field, involving the shared and co-ordinated use of dynamic, multi-institutional resources. Grid resource management is the process of identifying requirements, matching resources to applications, allocating those resources, and scheduling and monitoring Grid resources over time in order to run Grid applications as efficiently as possible. While Grids have become almost commonplace, the use of good Grid resource management tools is far from ubiquitous because of the many open issues of the field, including the multiple layers of schedulers, the lack of control over resources, the fact that resources are shared, and that users and administrators have conflicting performance goals. These are the issues addressed in this book, in addition to elucidating the overlap with related areas including discussions of work with peer-to-peer computing, economic approaches, and operations research."Grid Resource Management: State of the Art and Future Trends" should be a useful resource for users, application developers, or resource owners when working with Grid resource management systems.
