Creating the baseline
In order to create this baseline, we will need to do a lot of research about the particular topic. Our approach is to first answer a set of questions. The question we wanted answered are the following:

What are the basic concepts?
  • What are GRID / Cell?
  • What is GRID computing?
  • Are there different approaches? / Definition? (Is a hardware/ software / concept)?
  • What is Cell / GRID architecture / infrastructure? (hardware/ software)
    • Bandwidth
    • Chip
    • Computer
  • What is the present development stage? How many times are needed/ used to develop this?
  • Who use the GRID now/ in the future?
  • Who develop/ research on GRID now?
  • Who are the players in this field? Technology pioneers: country, company, university?
  • Present motives for developing it / assumptions for its future use?
  • Motives(benefits) / De-motives(losses) for implementing GRID?
  • Industrial/ Commercial implication / usage?
  • What are the limitations of GRID?
  • Difference between Clusters & GRID
  • What other technologies are needed to help its development?
  • Are their any substitutable technologies?


What are the Uncertainties?
  • Technical Challenge?
  • Political Issues that might rise?
  • Resistant to new IT? Problem with legacy system? Too complicated for implementation?
  • What technologies are needed for successful implementation? Parallel programming?
  • Who will be possible winners/ losers? (Benefit / loss from it)
  • Will consumer use it?
    • Will they be willing to share their computing capacity?
    • How much will they be willing to share?
    • “Psychological issue”: opportunity ride
    • Security Problem?
  • Music/ Movie/ Digital game industry trend? (going online etc )
  • Government Support?
  • Economical Influence?
