ABSTRACT:
It is commonly observed that the continued exponential growth in the capacity of fundamental computing resources — processing power, communication bandwidth, and storage is working a revolution in the capabilities and practices of the research community. It has become increasingly evident that the most revolutionary applications of this superabundance use resource sharing to enable new possibilities for collaboration and mutual benefit. Over the past 30 years, two basic models of resource sharing with different design goals have emerged. The differences between these two approaches, which are distinguished as the Computer Center and the Internet models, tend to generate divergent opportunity spaces, and it therefore becomes important to explore the alternative choices they present as we plan for and develop an information infrastructure for the scientific community in the next decade.
Interoperability and scalability are necessary design goals for distributed systems based on resource sharing, but the two models we consider differ in the positions they take along the continuum…………….So on ..........(download any of the following links to get complete paper presentation in word document)
