Grid Computing Meets Web Services?

Posted by Hemos on from the combine-'em-together dept.

jgeelan writes "According to an article in the current issue of Web Services Journal, by ex-IBM, ex-Vitria Technology, ex-IONA middleware maven Dirk Hamstra, the open source initiative known as OGSA, the Open Grid Services Architecture, is poised to bring utility-based computing a step closer. "The combination of Web services and grid computing," Hamstra writes, "virtualizes networked resources using common computing standards, making them accessible to a larger audience." Amazing what a little R&D money from IBM, a prime grid-computing mover, can achieve."

    Patriot Day obviously commemerates the USA-PATRIOT ACT which has gotten rid of a pesky thing called the Constitution.
