Improvement of Grid Service deployment using virtualisation technologies. Research Proposal for MPhil/PhD enrolment

Grid computing involves the coordination of multiple distributed processes such that they function as one system. Computational Grids are used to achieve this. Grid computing operates through the use of remote machines accepting executable code, which they process. Grid computing defines far more than the organisation and architecture of computational networks. How Grid is used, the policies under which it may be used, access control and the even distribution of computational resources are all within the remit of Grid Computing. The multifaceted nature of Grid ensures that it remains a hotbed of research. As the technologies underpinning Grid computing mature, so Grid becomes more usable and the applications of Grid broaden; an example being the relatively new commercial interest in Grid computing [5].
