Grid Database Design fills this need. Beginning with the history and theory of grid computing, it gives you a general background in the concepts, terminology, types, and the issues surrounding the evolving technology. The book will also look at the design issues inherent in the use of Grid, administrative and management concerns, and design decisions, issues, and opportunities.
