Grid Computing Proposed Talk Subjects

These are proposed topics for individual class presentations by students. These will involve reading background material on the topic including seeking more recent literature on the web and in hardcopy. The result should be a Powerpoint presentation with referenes to any sources used. Each presentation is expected to be an hour long with 15 minutes for discussion.

In addition the second topic will involve writing a survey paper on the current status or implementing an environment/application and demonstarting it.

Possible Topics Set 1 - Grid Technologies and Architecture:

The Design and Progress towards Globus 4
Web Services - theory and practice
Autonomic Computing - theory and current status
OGSA and Data Grids
The Semantic Grid - concept and current status
Peer-to-Peer Grid Databases
Virtualization services for Data Grids

In addition to those given on the Reference page, an extensive list of Grid literature is at http://www.iturls.com/English/TechHotspot/TH_22.asp
