《網(wǎng)格計算雜志》探討了一種新興的技術(shù)，這種技術(shù)能夠在分布式、松散協(xié)調(diào)的組（有時稱為“虛擬組織”）內(nèi)解決大規(guī)模的資源共享問題。覆蓋范圍包括協(xié)議、安全性、擴展等等。盡管這項技術(shù)在各類應(yīng)用中的優(yōu)勢已經(jīng)得到了承認，但需要在各種學(xué)科中進行研究，以擴大現(xiàn)有知識體系的適用性和范圍。該期刊滿足了需求，涵蓋了協(xié)議、中間件和服務(wù)、安全性、發(fā)現(xiàn)、共享、擴展等主題。討論擴展到協(xié)作工作、信息共享和問題解決的先進技術(shù)。

The Journal of Grid Computing explores an emerging technology that enables large-scale resource sharing problem solving within distributed, loosely coordinated groups sometimes termed "virtual organizations". Coverage includes protocols, security, scaling and more.Although the advantages of this technology for classes of applications have been acknowledged, research in a variety of disciplines is needed to broaden the applicability and scope of the current body of knowledge. This journal fills the need, covering such topics as protocols, middleware, and services, security, discovery, sharing, scaling, and more.Discussion extends to advanced technologies for collaborative work, information sharing and problem solving.
