34 Grid Computing in Research and Education
3.1 What you will find in these chapters
In the following chapters we provide real life examples of grid computing
implementations in the areas of research and education. We offer these
examples in the hope that they will be taken as a guide to the use of grid
computing to solve your current business problems successfully.

In this example we present a grid implementation to
provide the execution of complex system simulations in
the areas of physics, chemistry, and biology. The
implementation tac ...
