topologies, content and service delivery networks, and data grids, to name a
few examples. This will hopefully lead to greater advances in solving the
so-called “grand challenges” in areas such as climate modeling, drug design,
and protein analysis, by allowing practitioners to prototype their solutions
trivially and rapidly before committing time and resources in building com-
plex software and network systems that operate on global grids.
