Grid Computing: Second European Acrossgrids Conference, Axgrids 2004, Nicosia, Cyprus, January 28-30, 2004 : Revised Papers Second European Acrossgrids Conference European Acrossgrids Conference European Across Grids Conference Axgrids 2004

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Second European AcrossGrid Conference, AxGrids 2004, held in Nicosia, Cyprus in January 2004. The 27 revised full papers and 4 revised short papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 57 submissions. The papers address the entire range of current topics in grid computing from computational and data grids to the semantic grid and grid application in various fields. The 2nd European Acrossgrids Conference (axgrids 2004) Aimed To Examine The State Ofthe Artinresearchandtechnologydevelopmentsingridcomputing, And Provide A Forum For The Presentation And Exchange Of Views On The Latest Grid-related Research Results And Future Work. The Conference Was Organized By Crossgrid, A European Union-funded Project On Grid Research, Gridstart, The Eu-sponsored Initiative For Consolidating Technical Advances In Grids In - Rope, And The University Of Cyprus. It Continued On From The Successful 1st European Across Grids Conference, Held In Santiago De Compostela, Spain, In February 2003. Axgrids 2004 Was Run In Conjunction With The 2nd Ist Conc- Tation Meeting On Grid Research, Which Brought Together Representatives From Alleu-funded Projectsongridresearchforanexchangeofexperiencesandideas Regarding Recent Developments In European Grid Research.
