Abstract
This chapter discusses the revolutionary changes in technology and methodology driving scientific and engineering communities to embrace Grid technologies. Today, the scientific community still leads the way as early attempts in Grid computing evolve to the more sophisticated and ubiquitous “virtual organization.” The UK e-Science concept, the NSF vision of a global cyberinfrastructure, and NASA's IPG all recognize that—following a decade of pioneering work in computational science, data technologies, supercomputing, and networking linked with Grid technologies—computational and data management infrastructure has become a global phenomenon that is poised to evolve as a key enabler for science and society. The realization of this vision may require long-term investments of financial resources by governments and of intellectual resources by those who must build and apply the necessary global information infrastructure.
