2. Introduction to Grids Tutorial

One of the program highlights of GGF16 is a "Grid Primer for Managers" to be

focused on the newcomers to the Grid industry.
This tutorial will answer the questions:

- What is Grid computing? Why and how is it useful in business?
- What is Grid technology? Is it usable? What is the state of the market?
- What does a Grid architecture and Grid application mean?
- Why and how should I migrate to a Grid architecture?
- Why should I grid-enable my software product, and how do I go about it?
- What are the solutions existing on the market, and how do I choose among
them?

$150 fee.  You may either add this tutorial to your existing registration
for GGF16 or may register for the tutorial separately.  To register, please
