Abstract
Mankind is right in the middle of another evolutionary technological transition which once more will change the way we do things. And, you guessed right, it has to do with the Internet. Itâ„¢s called "The Grid", which means the infrastructure for the Advanced Web, for computing, collaboration and communication.
Grid computing, most simply stated, is distributed computing taken to the next evolutionary level. The goal is to create the illusion of a simple yet large and powerful self managing virtual computer out of a large collection of connected heterogeneous systems sharing various combinations of resources.
This paper aims to present the state-of-the-art concepts of Grid computing. A set of general principles, services, benifits and Architecture that can be followed in the Grid construction are given. One of the Grid application project Legion is taken up. We conclude with future trends in this yet to be conquered technology
