82 Grid Computing in Research and Education
Having these needs in mind, we can design a grid-based solution for leveraging
e-learning.
8.2 Case analysis
There are a number of ways that technology can be deployed to solve the needs
presented in the previous section: satellite broadcasting have been “on the road”
for over 20 years, and nowadays, database technologies can handle virtually
unlimited amounts of data efficiently. However, we believe that grid technologies,
which rely on non-specialized existing computing resources, can provide a
cost-effective solution for such problems.
In this section, we analyze the requirements and use-cases of an e-learning
framework.
8.2.1 Requirements
This section describes the functional and non-functional tech ...
