A Classification of Emerging and Traditional Grid Systems

Advances in grid computing are stimulating the emergence of novel types of grids, such as accessible, manageable, interactive, and personal grids. More and more researchers are realizing emerging grids´ potential to bridge the gap between grid technologies and users. This review of emerging grids sets out to develop a comprehensive classification of both traditional and emerging grid systems, with an aim to motivate further research and to help establish a solid foundation in this rapidly developing field.
