2. International Summer School on Grid Computing 2003 – Vico Equense 14 July Grid computing: a new technology for high performance computing (and many other classes of applications)

3. International Summer School on Grid Computing 2003 – Vico Equense 14 July Grid: 21st century e-Science methodology “… as soon as Grid Computing exists, it will necessarily guide the future course of science. Whenever any result is sought by its aid, the question will then rise – by what course of calculation can these results be arrived at by this technology in the shortest time?…”
