The GlobalTechnology Grid
• Networks – high performance network services
• Computational Resources – supercomputers, clusters, distributed computing resources
• Communications Resources– inter personal (1, few, many)– inter device / system
• Other Services– Remotely controlled research equipment– Immersive environments
