Collaboration and Community Grids
Geoffrey Fox · 2006
We study Grid architectures and relate them to the ideas of collaboration and community networks. We discuss services and architectural principles that support both synchronous and asynchronous collaboration and the integration with community networks and peer-to-peer systems. We identify 18 core features and services that characterize Grid systems. We conclude with a proposed Semantic Scholars’ Grid integrating these concepts to support information discovery and sharing in communities of users.
