Summary

This book originates from the First International Workshop on Scientific Applications of Grid Computing, SAG 2004, held in Beijing, China, in September 2004. Besides 8 thoroughly revised reviewed full workshop papers selected from initially 29 submissions, 10 invited papers from leading researchers complete coverage of the relevant topics and make this book a representative survey of current research activities in the field of grid computing applications. The papers are organized in topical sections on data-based applications; bioinformatics applications; application architectures, frameworks, and models; accounting and market-based architecture; and resource and information management on the grid.
