Abstract

Theoretically, computational and data grids are the computing paradigm of choice, but they will not gain wide acceptance until users have seamless access to them. The authors describe how to provide comfortable, intuitive, yet powerful Web access to supercomputing. A Web-based, grid-enabled application that processes, analyzes, and delivers remote-sensing images provides an example of the technology at work.
