GridASP(TM) Project
One of the biggest evolutions brought by Grid technology is "Grid Utility Computing", which utilizes various kinds of IT resources and applications across multiple organizations and enterprises, and integrates them into a comprehensive and valuable service.
Since 2004, we have proposed and been developing the GridASP framework which realizes Grid-enabled Application Service Providers (ASP) in order to realize Grid Utility Computing. GridASP mainly targets to technical enterprise applications such as Life sciences, Automotive, CAE, etc. and its major aims are:
- Improvement of ROI (Return On Investment) by teaming diverse specializations.
- Assisting start-up of new businesses by taking advantage of professional know-how.
- Availability of a full range of feature-rich Application Services with no downtime.
To achieve these aims, GridASP can bind Application Providers, Resource Providers, and Service Providers all together and provide application execution services with enough security and anonymousness to enterprise and/or scientific users.
We are releasing the project Web page which includes the release version of the GridASP Toolkit, various papers and presentation, and documents. GridASP is completely free so long as it is used under our license policy. Information on GridASP can be found on www.gridasp.org, that is, on this web site.
- GridASP is a registered trademark of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).
- A part of the development of GridASP Toolkit is enforced as a part of Business Grid Computing Project led by METI, Japan.
