GridCoord DoW

Future work

This is only an overview of the entries submitted in the database. Now, maybe some criteria would need a deeper examination, and further analysis. For example, we could cite:

• 
  Have we got enough choice when one wants to do a given task, or are there still some tasks which have no dedicated tools?
  
• 
  “Architecture: P2P vs. Client/Server” is there a schism?
  
• 
  “GUI”, are we graphically oriented yet?
  
• 
  Are there diffusion problems? How can one be informed of the existence of a given middleware, based on key words?
  

Appendix

Grid middleware questionnaire

GridCoord is a European initiative on Grid Computing. Its objectives include enhancing the already ongoing collaboration among the research actors and users, and developing national and EU Programme visions and roadmaps enabling Europe to play a leadership role in Grid technologies and applications.

This questionnaire is intended to gather information on the different grid middlewares available today, which will enable the creation of a database of existing resources, both useful for research and industry, stressing which areas are well known and which topics need greater investment.

Please fill in this form with all the information you can give on what the company/organisation you belong to is developing. If you have any questions, send a mail to the moderator.
