Abstract

Computing resources continue to grow today at an enormously rapid rate. Yet more alarming is the purposes such computing resources have infused the society. As we move towards the next century, the ability to harness these computing resources becomes increasingly important. While physical or geographical restrictions place a limit for individual and technical performance, Grid computing provides a way to harness resources, information and knowledge beyond these boundaries. Harness Grids in the education sector is vital in exposing the younger generation to this technology such that they are capable and confident in both the usage and Research & Development in this area.
