o  Explain the grid security
o  Explaining and Installing the Sympohny, a Java-based composition and 
   manipulation  of frame work.                        
o  Programming Environments for Multidisciplinary Grid Communities.
o  Advantages  for web technology by using grid computing.
o  Conclusion and future development
        
THE SCOPE:

Grid computing is a natural evolution of the internet .It allows to couple geographically distributed 
resources and offers consistent and inexpensive access to resources irrespective of their physical 
location or access point. It enables sharing, selection, and aggregation of a wide variety of 
geographically distributed computational resources.Evolving meta-computing middleware like Globus  or 
Legion provides for the creation of computational grids that can incorporate widely distributed 
resources.The services these new technologies provide are mainly accessible to the user by command line 
utilities or through specialized applications which differ in usage and appearance depending on the 
problem domain and the underlying grid architecture. For the computational grids to become versatile and 
easy to use a unified user interface is needed to compose and manipulate complex "meta-programs" spanning 
multiple resources on possibly differing grid architectures and grid software.
