Democratizing Resource-Intensive e-Science Through Peer-to-Peer Grid Computing

A Springer publicou há pouco um livro intitulado Guide to e-Science: Next Generation Scientific Research and Discovery (editado por Xiaoyu Yang, Lizhe Wang e Wei Jie). O livro contém um capítulo escrito por Fubica, Nazareno, Raquel e Lívia sobre nosso experiência com o OurGrid:

Democratizing Resource-Intensive e-Science Through Peer-to-Peer Grid Computing

Do resumo publicado: [This chapter] "(...) includes a thorough review of the main mechanisms required to support the execution of bag-of-tasks applications on top of P2P grids: accounting, scheduling, security, and data caching. Besides, we discuss ways to allow P2P grids to interoperate with service grids. We also report a success case in the utilization of the OurGrid middleware in the context of e-Science. Finally, we summarize our experience in this area indicating the lessons we have learned, the present challenges, and future directions of research."
