Acknowledgments
I would like to thank all members of the team I coordinated, the so-called
ARDA team (2004-2008), which was built around the initial core team
started in the framework of the LCG and EGEE projects. The team and its
activities grew constantly, due to the continuous support of LCG and
EGEE plus fruitful collaborations with other institutes, most notably
ASGC and the Russian LCG collaborators. I would like to thank espe-
cially Simon Lin and Eric Yang (ASGC); Slava Ilyin (SINP Moscow) and
Vladimir Korenkov (JINR Dubna) for their support and excellent collabo-
ration. A special thank goes to Iosif Legrand (Caltech) for the fruitful
collaboration and support especially on the monitoring (MonALISA proj-
ect). I would also like to thank Harry Renshall for interesting discussions
during the preparation of this manuscript. This work was partially
funded by EGEE. EGEE is a project funded by the European Union under
contract INFSO-RI-031688.
