The aim of CoreGRID is to strengthen and advance scientific and technological excellence in the area of Grid and Peer-to-Peer technologies in order to overcome the current fragmentation and duplication of effort in this area. To achieve this objective, the workshop brought together a critical mass of well-established researchers (including 145 permanent researchers and 171 PhD students) from a number of institutions which have all constructed an ambitious joint program of activities. Priority in the workshop was given to work conducted in collaboration between partners from different research institutions and to promising research proposals that could foster such collaboration in the future.  This book is the fourth volume of the CoreGRID series.

The topics in this volume include: - Knowledge and Data Management, - Programming Models, - System Architecture, - Grid Information, Resource and Workflow Monitoring Services, - Resource Management and Scheduling, - Systems, Tools and Environments, -Trust and Security Issues on the Grid.

Making Grids Work includes selected articles from the CoreGRID Workshop on Grid Programming Models, Grid and P2P Systems Architecture, Grid Systems, Tools and Environments held at the Institute of Computer Science, Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas in Crete, Greece, June 2007. This workshop brought together representatives of the academic and industrial communities performing Grid research in Europe. Organized within the context of the CoreGRID Network of Excellence, this workshop provided a forum for the presentation and exchange of views on the latest developments in Grid Technology research. This volume is the 7th in the series of CoreGRID books.

Making Grids Work is designed for a professional audience, composed of researchers and practitioners in industry. This volume is also suitable for graduate-level students in computer science.
