Abstract

Although there have been several attempts to create grid systems, there is no clear definition for grids.In this paper, a formal approach is presented for defining elementary functionalities of grid systems.A comparative analysis with conventional distributed systems shows that there are semantical differences, not just technical ones.The resulting abstract working model for grids can serve as a framework for defining new systems or analyzing existing ones.
