Chapter 1. Introduction to grid concepts 11
Another interesting example described in “GRASP-Grid Accessed Data and
Computational Scientific Portal“, by Sharly, shows how to “develop a scientific
portal for a learning community who can access Computational Servers,
Streaming Servers, Digital Library, Course Materials from different servers
spread across the globe, or use Mathematical packages, Computer Aided
Design (CAD), Simulation packages, etc.“
1.3 What will the future bring?
In this section, we analyze the new perspectives that grid technologies bring to
research and education, and present what has already been accomplished.
1.3.1 What exists today
As stated before, grid computing is still in its early years of existence. Although
