The Grid: Computing Without Bounds (Scientific American, by Ian Foster): 'Grid computing is expected to "virtualize" general computational services and make processing, storage, data, and software so ubiquitous that computing will seem like just another utility. An extension of the Internet, grid computing melds computer systems through high-speed networks so that people can avail themselves of data-crunching capabilities and resources otherwise inaccessible from single or sometimes multiple computers; grid systems' reach would be worldwide thanks to shared languages and interaction protocols. [...] Grid computing can only be successful if it is widely adopted, and one way of ensuring this is to make core technology freely available as well as easily and openly deployable.'
