Introduction
What is a grid? According to Webopdia:
"A form of networking. Unlike conventional networks that focus on communication among devices, grid computing harnesses unused processing cycles of all computers in a network for solving problems too intensive for any stand-alone machine."
Way of working
We will start by investigating grids, their background, purpose, and other type of information in order to create a common baseline amongst all group members. Once this baseline is established, we will start developing the scenarios.
Interview
To carry out research of our topic, we plan to interview professors and researchers in GRID field. Here are the key points to bear in mind during interview:
- Ask them what they don’t know instead of what they know
- Ask them the uncertainties
- For each uncertainty, ask them what the situation will be like, what are the extremes?
