Find out which technologies enable the Grid and how to employ them successfully! This invaluable text provides a complete, clear, systematic, and practical understanding of the technologies that enable the Grid. The authors outline all the components necessary to create a Grid infrastructure that enables support for a range of wide-area distributed applications. The Grid: Core Technologies takes a pragmatic approach with numerous practical examples of software in context. It describes the middleware components of the Grid step-by-step, and gives hands-on advice on designing and building a Grid environment with the Globus Toolkit, as well as writing applications.The Grid: Core Technologies: Provides a solid and up-to-date introduction to the technologies that underpin the Grid.Contains a systematic explanation of the Grid, including its infrastructure, basic services, job management, user interaction, and applications.Explains in detail OGSA (Open Grid Services Architecture), Web Services technologies (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI), and Grid Monitoring.Covers Web portal-based tools such as the Java CoG, GridPort, GridSphere, and JSR 168 Portlets.Tackles hot topics such as WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework), the Semantic Grid, the Grid Security Infrastructure, and Workflow systems.Offers practical examples to enhance the understanding and use of Grid components and the associated tools.This rich resource will be essential reading for researchers and postgraduate students in computing and engineering departments, IT professionals in distributed computing, as well as Grid end users such as physicists, statisticians, biologists and chemists.

This book includes papers on the recent advances in state-of-the-art computational science and computing presented at the 2018 International Symposium on Computational Science and Computing (ISCSC 2018), held in Huangshan, China, from 28 to 29 July 2018. All the papers were rigorously peer-reviewed by experts in the area. It is a valuable resource for researchers, professors, graduate students, as well as R & D staff in the industry with a general interest in computational science and computing.

This book consists of papers on the recent progresses in the state of the art in natural computation, fuzzy systems and knowledge discovery.

Over the past two decades, we have witnessed unprecedented innovations in the development of miniaturized electromechanical devices and low-power wireless communication making practical the embedding of networked computational devices into a rapidly widening range of material entities.This trend has enabled the coupling of physical objects and digital information into cyber-physical systems and it is widely expected to revolutionize the way resource computational consumption and provision will occur. Specifically, one of the core ingredients of this vision, the so-called Internet of Things (IoT), demands the provision of networked services to support interaction between conventional IT systems with both physical and artificial objects. In this way, IoT is seen as a combination of several emerging technologies, which enables the transformation of everyday objects into smart objects. It is also perceived as a paradigm that connects real world with digital world.The focus of this book is exactly on the novel collective and computational intelligence technologies that will be required to achieve this goal. While, one of the aims of this book is to discuss the progress made, it also prompts future directions on the utilization of inter-operable and cooperative next generation computational technologies, which supports the IoT approach, that being an advanced functioning towards an integrated collective intelligence approach for the benefit of various organizational settings.
