The July edition of the IEEE Computer Magazine includes a paper presenting a taxonomy of grid architectures from the metascheduler point of view. It provides many examples of grids using the GridWay Metascheduler in different ways, and it deals with important issues like grid interoperation.
This is the abstract:
Integrating diverse grid technologies is an essential step [...]
Researchers from a collaboration of six European organisations have attracted funding worth €2.3million to develop a new Internet-based software project called StratusLab. The two year project, headed up by Project Coordinator Dr Charles Loomis from CNRS, was launched in Paris today (14th June 2010). It aims to enhance distributed computing infrastructures, such as the European [...]
Yesterday we had a couple of quite interesting sessions about how people is using Cloud computing in Grids at the EGEE09 Conference. The speakers addressed two basic points:
The use of virtual machines and Clouds as an effective way to provide Grid users with custom execution environments. So the same Grid site can easily support VOs [...]
We are happy to announce that our proposal “HPCcloud: Distributed Virtual Infrastructures to Provision Computing Resources” (MICINN TIN2009-07146) submitted to the National Program in Basic Research of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation has been accepted. This project, which was endorsed by several relevant companies and research centers, aims at conducting research about elastic [...]
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. What can we in the information and communication technologies area do to help? Find out in GridTalk’s latest GridBriefing, which was just released. See also article in ISGTW.

This is the first post I am writing to illustrate the main novelties of the new version of the OpenNebula Virtual Infrastructure Manager. OpenNebula is an open-source toolkit for building Public, Private and Hybrid Cloud infrastructures based on Xen, KVM and VMware virtualization platforms. OpenNebula v1.4 is available in beta release, incorporating bleeding edge technologies [...]
The first edition of the Workshop on Energy Efficient Grids, Clouds and Clusters (E2GC2) will be co-located with IEEE Grid 2009 Conference, which will take place October 13–15, 2009, in Banff, Canada . The paper submission deadline is July 15th, 2009.

The integration of two clans of computation, ‘grid’ and ‘cloud’ computing, is moving closer through collaboration between the projects Enabling Grids for E-sciencE (EGEE) and Resources and Services Virtualisation without Barriers (RESERVOIR).
The two teams will work together to explore how the institutes providing computing resources to EGEE could benefit from adopting a ‘private cloud’ [...]
This year, our Research Group is glad to participate in the Google Summer of Code.
At this very moment, two project ideas inspired in the GridWay Metascheduler are being offered to worldwide students:
GridWay + Google Maps Mashup: GridWay users retrieve information about the Grid resources they have access to and their jobs using the commands gwhost [...]
In previous entries it was stated the importance of the interoperability in the Grid computing and the use of adapters to obtain it. In this sense, GridWay provides a set of adapters based on Middleware Access Drivers (MADs), which allows the interoperation of three important infrastructures namely, EGEE (preWS gLite-based), TeraGrid and OSG (both Globus-based).
