Project Summary 	

Grid computing enables the creation of Cyberinfrastructure for e Research applications.
It is recognised as one of the top five emerging technologies that will have a major
impact on the quality of science and society over the next 20 years. Several nations
around the world including Australia have developed their own national Grids based on the
notion of virtual organisations. These dispersed Grid initiatives have resulted in Grid
islands without any support for peering arrangements between them. This limitation will
not allow us to realise full potential of the Grid computing paradigm. This InterGrid
project aims to revolutionise Grid computing by developing new technologies for peering
of Grids.
