Grid Infrastructures • Short(er) term activities • Use existing knowledge, methodology and tools bases • Still more proof of concept than real production platform • Homogeneity the only currently known way how to achieve production level quality
Network Connection • Middleware, esp. security (AAA) • Resource location and brokering • Resource management and scheduling • Predictive transfer of large amounts of data • Grids much more heterogeneous and complex
Longer term research • New computational models • Collaborative environments • virtual worlds • Adaptable computing environment • On demand computing • Security • Heterogeneity
Peer to peer systems • Truly distributed systems (no centre) • Analogy of Internet itself • Search for • appropriate software architecture • security models and accountability • managerial issues • deployment (Virtual organisations)
Adaptive Computing • New distributed algorithms • Adaptive systems • self-organizing • reacting on (inevitable) changes in the network and computing environment • Autonomous systems • persistent • consistency in large scale distributed collaborating systems
Collaborative Environments • People to people and people to computers • Technological and psychological aspects • Coupling computational Grids (scientific visualisation) with videoconferencing tools, shared objects (documents, files, presentations, …) • New immersive environments
