S. Hurley, Editor-At-Large The growing interest in Grids as viable compute resource brokers is largely responsible for their acceptance beyond the traditional high performance computing (HPC) research community. As applications become more grid-enabled, the business community is expected to significantly increase its investments in Grid Computing over the next decade. This increasing demand for Grids coupled with continued advancements in middleware and networking technologies have begun to raise concerns about the availability of a qualified workforce to address Grid-related issues. [ ] 101645) THE GRIDBUS PROJECT TO RELEASE GRIDSIM 2.1 TOOLKIT The "Open Source" Gridbus Project led by the Grid Computing and Distributed Systems (GRIDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Australia, is pleased to release the next-version of Grid simulation software, the GridSim 2.1 toolkit. [ ] 101646) GRID COMPUTING FINDS CANCER GROWTH INHIBITORS Find-a-Drug announced that the preliminary results of its Cancer Internet project have exceeded all expectations. [ ] 101647) GLOBUS TOOLKIT 3.0 RELEASED FOR GRID SERVICES ARCHITECTURE The official release of the Globus Toolkit 3.0 (GT3) is a milestone in the evolution of Grid computing, which lets people share computing power, databases, and other tools securely online across corporate, institutional, and geographic boundaries without sacrificing local autonomy. [ ] 101648) GRIDS - A VERTICAL MARKET PERSPECTIVE PT. 2 Grids can be examined by the type of organization in which they are deployed. From this perspective, the relationship between Grids and networks is more than analogous. Grids by type of organization are defined in this article.
