During the last few years, Grid systems [GridS] have emerged to perform large-scale computation and data storage over IP-enabled data communication networks. They use distributed, potentially remote, resources to optimise computation and storage resources. Grid systems are normally considered as network middleware, since they lie between applications and network resources.
