In the last few years, the Grid community has been growing very rapidly and several new technologies have been proposed. This goes along with the growing popularity of the Internet and the availability of powerful computers and high-speed networks as low-cost commodity components, and is changing the way we do computing. Several proposals and publications have been generated, and several Grid projects with research and production oriented goals are ongoing. Grid 2003 presents the latest findings from the Grid community of researchers, developers, practitioners, and users.
