Summary

Grid and utility computing is recognized as one of the top five emerging technologies that will have a major impact on the quality of science. The first coordinated and integrated single-source reference on market-oriented grid computing, Market-Oriented Grid and Utility Computing covers the shift within the grid community where resources are traded, negotiated, allocated, provisioned, and monitored, based on user quality of service requirements. Researchers and practitioners working within current grid infrastructures and future models, as well as graduate students, will not want to be without this valuable resource.

Author Biography

Dr. Rajkumar Buyya is an Associate Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering and Director of the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Dr. Buyya has contributed to the creation of high-performance computing and communication system software for Indian PARAM supercomputers and has pioneered the economic paradigm for service-oriented grid and cloud computing. He currently serves as the founding CEO of Manjrasoft, a company producing software systems for utility-oriented grid and cloud computing. Dr. Kris Bubendorfer lectures in computer science at the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.
