[AGENDA21]

Sometimes the Grid is called the next-generation Web. The Web makes information available in a transparent and user-friendly way. On the other hand the grid goes one step further in that it enables members of a dynamic, multi-institutional virtual organisation to share distributed computing resources to solve an agreed set of problems in a managed and coordinated fashion. With the grid, users should be unaware whether they are using the computer or data on their own desktop or any other computer or resource connected to the international network. Users get the resources they need, anytime, and from anywhere, with the complexity of the grid infrastructure being hidden from them.
