Grid computing has been the subject of many large national and international IT projects in the past. However, it seems that the general expectations in Grids have not come true. Instead in the view of many observers, the Grid concept is on the way to be replaced by Cloud computing and other as-a-Service approaches. In this paper, we try to analyze the current situation and to describe potential obstacles for the future development of Grids. Although pointing out shortcomings of the past we state that the concept of Grids is still valid and includes new developments like Cloud computing and virtualization. Further, we believe that future applications need this concept and that this concept in turn needs more research for its reliable, efficient and easy to use implementation.

Grid is a generalized network computing system that is supposed to scale to Internet levels and handle data and computation seamlessly. Grid computing an extension of distributed computing supports computation across multiple administrative domains which enable it to be distributed over a local, metropolitan or wide area network. Grid infrastructure is a large set of nodes geographically distributed and connected by a communication. As, the users can access the resources simply and transparently without knowing where they are physically located, there are many challenges involved for constructing the grid environment. This paper gives a detailed survey on the challenges and characteristics of the grid and how to manage the resources in the grid environment. This paper also deals with the security issues related to grid. Keywords-Grid computing, Grid Architecture, Grid

After 1990's there is a huge change in the world of computing. The concept of parallel computing is a combination of hardware and software which allows flexibility and seamless service oriented network. This computing allows sharing of resources from distributed and diverse locations. Grid computing systems are complex and dynamic. Grid has appeared as a new approach to high performance distributed computing infrastructure. Grid has identified a new way of managing and organizing computer networks. It's mainly for resource sharing. The aim of grid computing approach is to larger scale computation. The geographically distributed computational resources are collaborated with a grid view as a virtual computer. This paper presents the various types of grid, grid architecture load balancing, fault tolerance and challenges in grid computing.

The last some years there has been a rapid rampant increase in computer processing power, communication, and data storage. Grid is an infrastructure that contains the integrated and collective use of computers, databases, networks and experimental instruments managed and owned by various organizations. Grid computing is a kind of distributed computing whereby a "super and virtual computer" is built of a cluster of networked, loosely coupled computers, working in concert to perform large tasks. Here paper presents an introduction of Grid computing providing wisdom into the gird components, terms, architecture, Grid Types, Applications of grid computing.

Grid computers are integrated environments in which software and hardware resources are pooled in ways that give any user the impression of working with a single fast computer. This paper examines the current advances in grid computers from the point of view of their structures, global attention and support. We particularly relate these matters with a section of the East African region and highlight the research opportunities that arise out of the research challenges.

Modern computer industry is operating with very large amounts of data which utilizes more processing power and high storage volumes of data. Grid computing is proposed as effective resource management to the organization, since it involves using resources from different spaces, from different ownerships and with different individual performance. It requires a highly complex resource management procedure for effective result. This paper presents an overview of grid computing, basic grid technologies, challenges, emerging trends, Grid Security issues, future prospects and the potential for Computational Grid system.
Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2010
In the recent decades we have witnessed a major revolution in the computer field. The major challenges posed by applications in fields of bioinformatics, earth sciences or weather forecasting, among others, have caused the proliferation of complex solutions, such as grid, cloud and highperformance computing. The common objective of all these disciplines is the sharing of hardware and software resources to provide an infrastructure in which to run efficiently these applications. Particularly, grid computing has been one of the most important computing topics in the last years. Within this context, the GADA workshop arose in 2004 as a forum for researchers in grid computing and its application to data analysis. From then until 2008, GADA became a reference conference for researchers in grid, covering also a broader set of disciplines, although grid computing continued to play a key role in the set of main topics of the conference.
In the last few years there has been a rapid exponential increase in computer processing power, data storage and communication. But still there are many complex and computation intensive problems, which cannot be solved by supercomputers. These problems can only be met with a vast variety of heterogeneous resources. The increased use and popularity of the Internet and the availability of high-speed networks have gradually changed the way we do computing. These technologies have enabled the cooperative use of a wide variety of geographically distributed resources as a single more powerful computer. This new method of pooling resources for solving large-scale problems is called as grid computing. Grid computing is a form of distributed computing in which an organization (business, university, etc.) uses its existing computers (desktop and/or cluster nodes) to handle its own long-running computational tasks. Grid computing combines computers from multiple administrative domains to reach a common goal, to solve a single task, and may then disappear just as quickly. Grid computing is managed by Global Grid Forum (GGF). Grid includes various protocols, topologies, standards and layers for implementing grid related applications. This paper describes the concepts underlying grid computing.

The termGrid Computing'is relatively new and means a lot of di erent things to a lot of dif-ferent people [19]. It has been used as a buzzword for any new technology to do with computing, especially computer networking, and therefore it has been over-hyped as the solution to just about every computing problem. One of the goals of this paper is to give a clear de nition of what Grid Computing is and why it is required.
In this paper, we studied about the grid computing, benefits and applications of grid computing. Grid computing is still a developing field. Grid computing is used to solve complex problem in a simple manner by sharing resources with each other.
Grid computing is a computer network, which every machine's assets are shared with every other machine. The goal is to produce the trickery of a simple (through huge and commanding) self-handling virtual system out of a huge group of linked heterogeneous systems, which sharing numerous groupings resources. Regularization of communications among heterogeneous systems generated and Internet explosion. Developing regularization used for sharing resources, alongside with convenience of upper bandwidth are pouring feasibly alike huge evolutionary phase. Previous limited existences here has stayed a quick exponential rise in system processing power, data storing and communication. However quiet here are numerous difficult and calculation rigorous complications, those can't be unraveled by mainframes. The difficulties can individual encountered through huge variation of unrelated resources. Attractiveness of the Internet, accessibility of high-speed networks take progressively transformed a manner of computing. The fresh technique that sharing resources for large-scale complications can solved through grid computing. This paper designates the theories fundamental grid computing.

This special issue of Future Generation Computer Systems is devoted to modern applications of distributed and grid computing. A relatively small number of papers were selected in order to cover some important areas of distributed and grid computing. At the same time we do not pretend that all important areas of this fast developing scientific field are covered.
A scientist studying proteins logs into a computer and uses an entire network of computers to analyze data. A businessman accesses his company's network through a PDA in order to forecast the future of a particular stock. An Army official accesses and coordinates computer resources on three different military networks to formulate a battle strategy. All of these scenarios have one thing in common: They rely on a concept called grid computing. At its most basic level, grid computing is a computer network in which each computer's resources are shared with every other computer in the system. Processing power, memory and data storage are all community resources that authorized users can tap into and leverage for specific tasks. A grid computing system can be as simple as a collection of similar computers running on the same operating system or as complex as inter-networked systems comprised of every computer platform you can think of.
The Grid has the prospective to essentially change the way science and engineering are done. Aggregate power of manipulative resources connected by networks—of the Grid— surpasses that of any single supercomputer by many orders of greatness. At the same time, our skill to carry out computations of the scale and level of detail required, for example, to study the Universe, or simulate a rocket engine, are severely constrained by available computing power. Hence, such presentations should be one of the main powerful forces behind the expansion of Grid computing. Grid computing is evolving as new surroundings for solving hard problems. Linear and nonlinear optimization problems can be computationally costly. The resource access and organization is one of the most significant key factors for grid computing. It requires a mechanism with automatically making decisions, ability to support computing tasks cooperating and scheduling. Grid computing is a dynamic research area which assurances to provide a springy structure of compound, energetic and distributed resource sharing and cultured problem solving environments. The Grid is not only a low level organization for secondary computation, but can also simplify and enable material and knowledge sharing at the higher semantic levels, to support knowledge mixing and distribution.
