Business Experiments in GRID 2 Project Data Sheet Type of project: Integrated Project Project coordinator: Mr. Santi Ristol (ATOS ORIGIN) Project start date*: 1st June 2006 Duration: 42 months Max EC contribution: 15.7 M euros Consortium: 75 partners The mission of BEINGRID is to Exploit European Grid middleware by creating a toolset repository of Grid services from across the Grid research domain and to use these services to deliver a set of successful business experiments that stimulate the early adoption of Grid technologies across the European Union.

Business Experiments in GRID 3 Grid Scene  Europe is a leading player in Grid research (upper layers) As a result of FP5 and on-going FP6 IST Grid research, there has been significant number of software middlewares and tools. GRID architectures solutions for enabling the management of distributed resources across multiple enterprises boundaries and creating collaborative environments (Virtual Organisations)  Grid technology is coming of age  Future ICT in next decade will be dominated by service orientated architectures  Grid is moving from research and academic use to a wider adoption by enterprise  There is a market place for Grid services
